We hate Success Tax.
In the world of software, there is a hidden penalty for winning. We call it the Success Tax.
You've seen it. You've probably paid it.
It starts with a "Free" or "Starter" plan. You get a taste of the tool. You start collecting testimonials. You start building trust. And then, the moment you actually succeed—the moment you go viral, launch a big campaign, or finally get the momentum you've worked for — you get an email.
"Congratulations! You've reached your limit. Pay us $99/month to keep your social proof live."
That is the Success Tax.
It is a model that punishes growth, meters credibility, and treats your reputation like a hostage. This doesn't just happen in testimonial tools, but in all of SaaS.
At SayAbout.us, we think that's garbage.
Growth is not a crime.
Most companies reward themselves when you win. They see your 100th video testimonial not as a milestone for your business, but as a trigger for their next tier. We believe that if you collect 5 videos or 5,000, our job remains the same: To host them reliably and make them look beautiful. It doesn't cost us 10x more to serve you, so we shouldn't charge you 10x more to exist.
Trust is a Utility, not a Luxury.
You don't pay more for water just because you're extra thirsty. You pay for the connection. Trust should be the same. Credibility is the infrastructure of the internet. It is the "Proof of Life" that allows a stranger to become a customer. Every business — whether you are making $1,000 or $1,000,000, deserves access to that infrastructure without looking over their shoulder at a usage meter.
No "Zombie Revenue."
The Success Tax has an ugly cousin: The Yearly Lock-in. Standard SaaS companies love it when you pay for a year upfront and stop using the tool after three months. They profit from your inactivity. We call that Zombie Revenue, and we want no part of it.
- No Yearly Plans: We have to earn your $10 every 30 days.
- No Handcuffs: If we stop bringing you value, you should stop paying. Instantly.
- No Success Tax: If you grow, we celebrate. We don't send you an invoice.
The Unlimited Standard.
We stripped the price to the studs so we could offer a flat, fair rate to everyone.
- $5/mo: Unlimited everything (with our branding).
- $10/mo: Unlimited everything (without our branding).
The Bottom Line
We didn't build SayAbout.us to be a "cheap alternative." We built it to be the right alternative. We are the rebel partner for the founders who are tired of being taxed for their own hard work. We are the trust layer for the people who believe that a fair price for a great tool should stay a fair price — no matter how big you get.
Stop renting your reputation from landlords who hike the rent when you succeed.
Own your growth. Build your Wall of Love. And never pay a Success Tax again.
