Good News for SpamNet Beta Users
This might be old news, but users of the Cloudmark SpamNet beta needn't worry about paying the monthly subscription costs that many users felt blindsided by when Cloudmark announced a subscription model to coincide with the debut of SpamNet 1.0.
I certainly don't blame Cloudmark for trying to bring in the revenue to support their very effective spam filtering software, but so many of us beta users thought the Outlook plug-in would always be free, and that the company would make their money from their enterprise spam filtering software.
I suppose I should go ahead and start paying for the service, as I would be in serious trouble without it. Pricing for beta users is only $1.99 per month for the first year, and after that, I'm guessing that the price will jump up to their standard fee of $4.99 a month.
That monthly pricing structure is kind of odd, because taken over a year, that amounts to $60. It seems that Cloudmark is trying to lessen the "sticker shock" by offering the subscription service on a monthly fee, but the way it's positioned, it also makes it more convenient to cancel at any time if it's unsatisfactory. Then you're not out the bucks up front.
Anyway, with all the spam going around, SpamNet is worth the money, despite the initial controversy over its pricing model.
