I built something similar for my own personal use, so it's very interesting to see something similar polished for mass consumption.

The only thing I'm confused about is what you get in the Pro version..

"3 Months of Unlimited Access to Every Area of QuantBlocks"

How is the user supposed to know what "every area" is? How could anyone expect to know what they get with a subscription? Most importantly, how could they know if a particular symbol would be available in the pro version, what about futures, forex, etc?



So what if we said "3 Months of Unlimited Access to Every Daily Upgrade" ??

We're doing daily agile upgrades so we're trying to communicate that they'll get access not only to ALL of the global equities data, but also all of the updates that we make in terms of ability to save strategies, indicators, etc.


It might just be me, but I find it confusing that the upgrade statement says "a one-time payment of $39" and then the first checkbox says "3 months of access".

Does this mean I pay $39 every quarter to continue access? In which case why is it a one-time payment?


Hacker news has throttled Rob's replying (too fast), he says:

Thanks for the great feedback. We've just pushed an update that tries to clarify by removing "One time payment" and removing the "every area of Quantblocks" language.

Thoughts?


That seems much clearer to me now! :)
