“Our proposition is slightly different. We try to to implement that idea of, like, a co creation, like an ongoing process, like, you basically be the communities, and you keep in touch with users to a point that you become customers and then friends and advocates and so on, and you keep owning that community to really co create your product in an ongoing basis.”
“The basic one, which is the pay per use kind of method. So everyone is welcome. They can jump in for free. And really, when they need to create a session with users, then they pay $2 per minute. So usually sessions are about like thirty minutes. And then we do have a couple of premium plans, paid plans. They include a couple of different features like unlimited chat,”
“We have about 6,000 users now. Users can qualify for multiple communities as as they go fit.”
