Appreciate it! Right now, the focus is on keeping MangoForm simple and lightweight—no upsells, no bloat.

That said, I’m not against introducing optional paid features down the line (like payments, integrations, or advanced analytics), as long as they don’t force users into a subscription trap.

The core product will always stay one-time payment, but if some users need extra functionality, I’m open to giving them that option without making it mandatory for everyone.

Fair question! The key is keeping the infra light and the product focused.

MangoForm isn’t a heavy SaaS with tons of real-time processing. Forms are relatively low-cost to host, especially when optimized properly. I also don’t need to constantly push updates just to justify a recurring fee—it’s built to be stable and efficient from day one.

At $15 per customer, it’s all about volume and keeping things simple. Not every product needs to scale infinitely—sometimes, it just needs to be profitable enough to sustain itself.

Would a one-time fee work for every SaaS? Definitely not. But for a form builder? I’d argue it makes more sense than a $600/year subscription.
