As a long-time user of MPW Pro (purchased over 7 years ago), I personally have no need of today's giveaway. But I've recommended this very good program countless times over the years, and for anyone who spends a modicum of time upgrading or building computers, upgrading disk drives, hacking/modding mobile phone ROM's, etc., I used to wholeheartedly proclaim that for such a useful tool, it's money well-spent.
But that was before they moved to this lamentable and obnoxious subscription-based purchase scheme [even if it is just isolated to their GOTD offers; I have further comments about this below]. I have never been one to whine about subscription-based pricing models--when it makes sense. Anti-virus/anti-malware software requires ongoing R&D and enjoys frequent, sometimes even daily, updates. I use a number of web-based apps and services that I pay for on a monthly or yearly basis because they provide an ongoing service, and these services are updated and upgraded regularly. However I can see no legitimate reason why a fairly static utility such as a partition manager would warrant reoccurring payment; certainly no more than your average word processor, database program, or third-party file manager. Or how about we compare this program to your average game? I own hundreds of games on delivery platforms like Steam and GOG, many of which have received a steady stream of bug fixes, patches, and buffs since purchase, years ago in some cases. This represents quite a bit of dedication and labor on the part of the developers, yet in no case have I paid for any game more than once. So--apart from jump-on-the-bandwagon bald-faced greed, what's MiniTool's excuse?
To make this whole thing even more unseemly, I can tell you from experience that they typically only push out two or three minor updates in between so-called 'major' revision updates (e.g., v7.xx -> v8.xx, 8->9, etc.), and it can sometimes go years in between major updates!
The only thing I can say to temper my rant is that I don't currently see any evidence of a subscription-based purchase scheme on MiniTool's website, so I guess this is just a 'privilege' reserved for us GOTD-ers. I can understand that it bothers some of these vendors that a substantial percentage of users here won't cough up the dough for a proper license after receiving a free version. But at least there are still some GOTD contributors that realize there are better marketing strategies than dumping glorified demos on us, like offering substantial discounts for full versions, or holding back certain features that the 'power-users' will likely want. After all, it should be fair to assume that if someone here won't even consider upgrading after using the free, ostensibly 'limited' version for a bit, then they are not that software's target customer to begin with. Or looked at another way, if someone has cause to partition their hard drive once every five years, let's say, then that user is highly unlikely to shell out forty dollars when the free version will suffice for such an infrequent task (and furthermore let's not forget that MiniTool isn't the only game in town; this type of user can choose from a good list of other vendor's offering a competitively priced alternative, along with their own freebies as well).
All in all, it seems that despite the word 'giveaway' in this site's name, giving us something for only six months fits with the letter of the law--but definitely not the spirit, I'm sorry to say.
Sorry for the long rant--like I said earlier, this is not something I often complain about. But enough vendors are now engaging in this egregious--and extremely shortsighted--practice that I felt like saying something, with the small hope that companies like the successful and otherwise smart MiniTool will eventually take heed and recalculate the way they approach these giveaways.
