Sure, we offer more than a smaller price tag, but times are tough and budgets are tight. So Flint is priced accordingly.
We have very straightforward, affordable plans for papers big and small. But instead of paying based on your circulation (this is a digital solution after all), you pay based on the features you need.
Furthermore, we offer all of our plans in either a hosted or licensed version. That means if you want to host and maintain your site on your own set of servers, you can just pay the one-time licensing fee. No ongoing charges in addition to what you've already paid.
Or, if you'd rather avoid the headache of hosting and maintaining your site on your own servers, we can take care of that for you. And we'll also roll any updates we make to Flint into your setup automatically. You just pay us a monthly fee and we do the rest. Oh, and we don't make you sign any contracts. You can go month-to-month and upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time with no fees.
That should be a breath of fresh air right?
Switching to Flint was a smart move for our paper financially. Previously we were paying hundreds of dollars a month in licensing fees AND server fees using our old website. With Flint, we only pay a fraction of that. Plus, our old website was extremely rigid, if you wanted something customized, you could basically forget about it. With Flint we can do what we want, when we want.
