Why Isn’t Pyxlin Free?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

ADVERTISING based business models are always called “FREE”. We debated extensively on whether or not to follow the route of Google, facebook, Youtube, and many others to offer a free Pyxlin. In the end the choice was obvious:

3 reasons for not doing a “free” ad-based journal system:

  • Profitable ad based models (”Free” models) required intrusive data mining that is not appropriate for personal journals (and Youtube is STILL NOT profitable).
  • With a “free” model we would not be able to afford to provide you with person-to-person phone support (it is nice to know you can call rather than search through time consuming Help Systems)
  • When was the last time you wanted to see banner ads plastered all over your journal? This allows you to control what is in your journal, or your kids journals for that matter. You don’t have to worry about inappropriate ads being displayed to you or your children.

Pyxlin is absolutely affordable, just $2.50 per month (less than a gallon of gas) to offset the costs of unlimited service (including unlimited phone support) and archiving. This allows us to focus completely on your experience, making sure that Pyxlin is the best journaling system in the world.
