Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me - The harassment by SaaS
The description of the demo is very specific and oddly exactly what I experienced about a month ago when my company was looking for a new Application Lifecycle Management tool. It’s uncanny.
What I hate the most is that in order to know the pricing I have to watch a 2 hours demo, and at that point I already know that it’s unaffordable because they’re starting to do calculations “this is how much you’re going to save”.
Saw a 100% offline quoting tool that, they wanted $1000 per month because “you and your team will save 200 hours per month so this tool pays back in less than 2 weeks”
It’s offline
We have to pay for the server
It requires a month of training and data fitting (at our expense)
Doesn’t require any additional update and once set can be left like that for decades

Why the hell it’s a subscription???
