Back in 2014 we announced that we were moving away from a freemium business model.
Since then ShiftEdit has prompted users to let them know that their trial had expired whilst still permitting access.
Now almost 2 years later, free tier users will be prompted to purchase a subscription before they can continue using the service.
It's inevitable that some users will move on, but for those that stick around we will be able to deliver a superior service.
In the last 12 months we've completely re-written the front end, created a git client and made it a snap to deploy servers.
I'm proud of what we've achieved so far and am excited about what else we can do.
