The one thing I'm not liking about Deepbot.
« on: August 21, 2014, 05:16:20 AM »
The only thing that keeps me from wanting to donate and start beta before release is the fact that Deepbot will cost money after release.
If Deepbot was free after release than I would donate and start beta now.

Too bad its gonna cost money for it. :(

I myself am loving the bot and am donating $5.00 a month but when it comes out it would be nice if people that supported the bot get options...I am in college and really can't afford a lot of these bots sadly so if I lose deepbot I would be so sad this is the best bot I have ever used!

Good afternoon DeepBot DEVS,

One question I have is that if we were to pay the $10 fee, for roughly how long can we expect to use DeepBot before our accounts would be locked out?

Also (hehe yeah I guess I had 2 questions :P ), is your plan to release DeepBot for a flat fee, or will it be a subscription-based model with a monthly fee? Do you currently have a price target in mind for your release version, and will that price include all future updates?

Sorry for so many questions for my first post on your forums, but before I open my wallet I just am curious as to how much value I would be getting out of DeepBot (meaning if I donate $10 today, are you going to say Beta is over 5 days from now meaning I paid $2 a day).

I am not opposed to the fee, in fact from what I have seen it seems like your bot offers a lot of value for $10. As I said I just want to make sure that getting involved now isn't going to leave me feeling bitter down the road. ;)

Thank you for your time!

The design of DeepBot is more than just a program. It is an eco-system that will continue to grow.
It is a hybrid of server hosted services and client hosted connectivity. Running it as a standalone disconnected from the backbone network is not possible.

As such, Given the infrastructure costs, it will most likely not be a free to use solution on release.

While I can't go into specifics of the final financing model at release, I will say I want to make this application as inclusive as possible.
There are still a few technical infrastructure hurdles I need to overcome, before I have full clarity over how things will shape up.

That being said, the most likely release structure I am thinking around, would include three features:
  • Basic features for a fairly low cost, with premium features purchasable on demand. Pick and choose what you need for your stream, or get it all if thats what you are looking for!
  • Ability to scale with the stream. A structure that is fairly low cost for smaller streams. However as your streams grow and consume more resources, your "plan" scales to keep up with your growth.
  • Referral benefits. If your stream brings people to the DeepBot eco-system, you will get credits to subsidise your stream costs.

Happy to hear feedback, as this is still very fluid and still some time away.

I love your bot so I hope in the future it won't be out of my price range college has made streaming hard.. Well at least having nice things for my stream harder I should say

If you want the service to continue to grow, you must support it. ;) I'm sure that the pricing plans will be reasonable.

I think that paying for certain features would be helpful too. Like, if a streamer doesn't want the YouTube feature, just the mini-games features, then the pricing should reflect that.

The thing you guys need to remember (and this can be taken with a pinch of salt) is you some times have to invest to be able to make a return.

Now I am not saying we are all looking to make money, however if you add extra value to the stream, you are more likely to get donations/tips, which you can offset towards the costing of the bot.

That is just my two cents.

This is exactly how I look at it. My stream tips have gone up significantly since getting this bot. Now I don't entirely think this is the sole reason, but it sure is an interesting coincidence I was doing well and now I am doing very well after using it. Current costs I am easily offset for a long time. That being said, where can I find more information about the future costs once released?
