Recently, I've been talking to many SAS makers and they're all asking me how Fremis is different than the paddle, polar, lemon squeezy, all those other

merchant records. So, I decided to share

merchant records. So, I decided to share five reasons why you should go with Fremus. Number one, Fremuse is built

Fremus. Number one, Fremuse is built specifically for selling software.

Microsass plug-in desktop apps. This is

what we excel at. Other solutions offer selling any type of digital goods. So

the developer experience, the journey is completely different. We are looking on

completely different. We are looking on the entire life cycle of your customers, not just the billing and the checkout.

We're looking on before people buy until they cancel and even after. It means

that we've optimized things like conversion rate, sending a lot of marketing automation, have different coupons. So if someone starts a

coupons. So if someone starts a checkout, abandon before entering the email, you can show them a special coupon to get them back to continue the

checkout. If they cancel the

checkout. If they cancel the subscription on the other end, you can offer a discount to retain them on the subscription. There are many more of

subscription. There are many more of those mechanisms. Second and really important reason is that we win together. We know how critical it is to

together. We know how critical it is to get the right support at the right time.

Whether it's technical, you're going to get founder level support from our team.

The person who lead our technical support is with us from the beginning and know the system inside out. We know

how important to get that push to the right direction. How to set up your

right direction. How to set up your pricing, how to get your first hire, how to launch your product, whatever it is.

We have office hours and you can reach us at any moment in time whether it's technical or strategic support. We're

here to help you move the needle further. In addition, we're doing

further. In addition, we're doing physical networking events trying to connect you with our likeminded makers in the platform so we can all succeed

together. Speaking of the importance of

together. Speaking of the importance of together, we know how critical it is to have a network in whatever you're doing in business. And this is a third

in business. And this is a third critical pillar in our value proposition. By joining Fremuse, you're

proposition. By joining Fremuse, you're joining a community of almost 2,000 other software makers who went through

similar struggles in different stages of their journey right now. And you can collaborate, help each other, learn from each other. In addition, we offer an

each other. In addition, we offer an affiliate platform out of the box and we know many of the affiliates in the system. So, not only that, it gives you

system. So, not only that, it gives you that potential army of promoters that can help you boost awareness about your software and solve all the technical

parts of that. We are happy to help you with introductions to specific affiliates that you think can strategically help you move the needle.

In addition, we have a network of investors and buyers who are into software companies. Naturally, they want

software companies. Naturally, they want to be connected with us because we're working with many of those. So when you get to that point, we can help you understanding what are the valuation

benchmarks of the market, give you advice on how to approach it, connect you to the relevant people, etc. So we are here to help you through the entire

journey from launch to growth to until you exit your business. Number four, and I've been asked about that quite frequently, the pricing. We have very competitive pricing, but the main

difference is we have transparent pricing. We don't have any hidden fees.

pricing. We don't have any hidden fees.

You know exactly what you're going to pay. Moreover, we're the only one in the

pay. Moreover, we're the only one in the market that have growth pricing. So, you

can know exactly how much you will pay at any level of sales. If you work with other vendors, you will need at certain point to go through this exhausting

negotiation process. And not only that,

negotiation process. And not only that, it's draining the energy. It's not fun.

It also a huge waste of time. You want

to focus on your business, not on negotiations with your payment provider.

We made it clear, simple, transparent.

You can see exactly how much you will pay. Doesn't matter in what level you

pay. Doesn't matter in what level you are. And the final one, we do it damn

are. And the final one, we do it damn easy. I'm hearing from others that

easy. I'm hearing from others that sometimes you need to go through weeks of approvals and know your customer processes and you go through that and

you need to have a website, but it doesn't make sense. you are in development, you're integrating, so how will you have a website and terms and all of that? So that entire process doesn't make sense. You waste weeks,

sometimes more. You launch it, you go

sometimes more. You launch it, you go with that, and then after a month, two, maybe six, your account is being terminated without any explanation. So

we don't have all that BS, right? You on

board smoothly, but there's no risk of your account being eliminated or something like that. So you have that safety net and as of integration that you can start selling right away. So we

talked about all these things the pricing the features the network the team what's most important to remember is Fremus was built for micro and small

software companies. So the entire

software companies. So the entire experience feature set everything from small to big was built for you. If you are

considering to start your Micros or looking to switch payment solution, ping me. I'm happy to have a call with you.

me. I'm happy to have a call with you.

See if it makes sense working together.
