Who would pay monthly for SER?
I know @Sven does a great job at keeping SER and CB updated and trying to fix bugs as best as he can. But there is no denying, there are still some bugs in SER.
Love all the work and dedication you put in to your software Sven, but I think a little extra help/money might go a long way.
So my question is this.
Who would pay a monthly fee for SER to help Sven start digging a little deeper in to fixing/adding features to SER?
I think if Sven added a small monthly fee, it would/might help him spend more time programming.
I'll be the first one here to say...
Yes, I would pay a monthly fee for SER if it would help. What do you all think?

Sven is doing great job, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee, I think it is better now - with one time fee.
And it is + for GSA SER, because many people (and I too) buying few licences more.
Personally, I think when people would be forced to pay for GSA SER monthly, they will crack GSA SER and use it for free. Just like SEnuke XCR.
With monthly fee's users expect more in terms of updates and new features, maybe Sven doesn't want that commitment.
I don't bought SEnuke XCR 2 years ago because of the monthly fee.
But I bought xrumer - with one time fee.
Also lower price for product = more users and more profit.
By my side it could be a great idea ..for new clients - ser already has a name big and reliable enough and the monthly fee won`t stop the new buyers. For us remains the donation button (and I highly encourage everyone to use it regularly) - we already have bought the tool with one time payment statement - that`s the fairplay.
Check endomondo pro example - people bought one time license and in last year, when endomondo pro was big, they changed it to "monthly license". Many people was frustrated, because they already paid for license, and they feel cheated.
They had better business with one time fee.
For endomondo greed was not good.
If you like - just donate to Sven, or buy more licences.
It's all hypothetical, i don't see Sven changing it any time soon.
But you're right, one of the best things about SER is no monthly fee's. When you consider that you need servers, proxies, indexers, rank trackers etc all requiring monthly fee's... It's amazing and very welcome that SER is a one-time fee for such a great piece of software.
I think price for GSA SER is resonable.
It is 99 USD + 147 USD for captcha breaker.
It is about 250 usd. With EU tax it is 300 usd.
For 550 usd you can buy Xrumer - which you can run on 2 PC's simultaneously.
It have captcha breaker onboard, it responds for many text captchas questions - better than askmebot and it runs on more threads than GSA SER.
But it is hard to mod, not so user friendly and most support is in Russian language.
If price will be bigger, many people will go for xrumer.
I have few licences of GSA SER and 1 licence of xrumer. I using both, but I planning buy more licences of GSA SER, because of price.
@gooner, you talk true. This is a lot of things that requiring monthly fees, and using seo software is expensive.
But modded xrumer is beast.
I like sentence "GSA SER is like pistol, and xrumer it is like machinegun."
But Xrumer is for very advance users, you need time for mod it, time for learning how to use it, and you need to learn a little russian to have support, because in english forum people will not help you, and in russian they will help.
You need more time to working with xrumer, but good configured xrumer is powerfull. And GSA SER is simple and easy compared to xrumer, you have good support in english, you can ask anything and everybody can help you, and when you buy few licences, you have LPM like xrumer.
Even xrumer is 64 bit, and GSA SER is 32 bit, I like using GSA SER more.
Also xrumer gui is disgusting compared to gsa ser ;-)
For example Xrumer already support some javascript protection I don't know GSA supports any javascript or not.
For the next updates Xrumer will support Facebook, Web 2.0 sites and most important users will get access to this.
Education any graphical CAPTCHA + processing JavaScript
We have received many requests to purchase our recognition algorithms ReCaptcha, Yandex - captures, and other complex defenses, and we always refuses. But now, self-paced learning tool for any captchas, even so complex as ReCaptcha or Google- CAPTCHA, will be available to each of our clients. In fact, this tool has long been established and has long been used by us for their own needs, all you need to do - is to get a more user friendly interface and connect to prevent illegal copying.
With JavaScript processing module, everything is a bit more complicated, because task is not to handle the entire row JS, as do browsers , but only those blocks that prevent registration, posting, or some other action: in this case, the program will keep the speed of processing sites in multithreaded mode . This module will implement in 2-3 months.
All these tools will be available within the learning XRumer- and new resources - ModCreator- a, which now is also working , in particular adding the ability to protect your mods from illegal copying . In this case XRumer- market modification but may be considerably extended.
In long term perspective Xrumer is going become a monster one of a kind.
