Plenty of software companies will ask you to sign a long-term contract before you ever log in. We don't, and we'd like to explain why.
Contracts lock you in
A multi-year commitment doesn't make software better — it just makes it harder to leave. Once you're locked in, you stop asking whether the tool is still the right one, because switching feels too expensive even when something better comes along. That's good for the vendor and bad for you.
They keep you from choosing the best solution
When you're tied down, your decisions get smaller. Instead of picking the best fit for your business, you pick whatever your contract allows. We'd rather you be free to choose the right answer — even if, someday, that answer isn't us.
They aren't necessary to keep customers
If our software does its job, you'll stay because it works, not because you're obligated to. We think the product should earn your business every month. A contract that keeps you when the software wouldn't is a problem we'd rather solve by building better software.
They turn vendors into rivals
Lock-in sets up an antagonistic relationship between software companies, where everyone is guarding their territory instead of helping you. We don't see it that way. Other vendors aren't the enemy — we should all be trying to help your business succeed. The goal is a healthy business, not a defended contract.
They're a sign of doubt
Honestly, when a company insists on a long contract, it usually means they're worried you won't like the software enough to stay on your own. We'd rather not start the relationship from a place of doubt. We're confident enough in the work to let you decide.
