Rep Power: 25 | ?? Helios Price Increase ?? The text on the Helios website just changed .... "We are the only provider of salon management software to offer our software for FREE. For only $49.99 a month you get free updates. Helios has made managing your customer data easy and affordable for any salon owner." I thought maybe they were starting to quote the Centrix pricing ... but no ... it is 49.99 on the Helios V11 page as well. and while I am on it ... For only $49.99 a month you get free updates. Interesting use of the English language ... sort of like ... for $150. a week you can have $150. worth of free groceries from your local supermarket. Now I do believe 39 a month ... 49 a month for the software to run you salon and that including tech support ... not a bad deal at all ... but FREE it is not. 25% price increase in one step ... ouch |

Rep Power: 19 | Re: ?? Helios Price Increase ?? 25% increase on existing customers MUST be justified by some cool azz new features and upgrades - why would i pay 120 extra a year for same crap i have been using? |

Rep Power: 25 | Re: ?? Helios Price Increase ?? tanchix ... do not know if it is only new clients or for both (meaning existing) ... I would think it would be a bit of an administrative nightmare to have more than 1 rate ... I know they tried that in the past and changed everyone to one rate. I just saw the change in rates on their website today ... Maybe there will be a newletter outlining it ... then again maybe it will just change next draft, see your Software Maintenance Agreement: Quote:
