A gigantic scam

Hi Rachel,

I’m sorry to hear you felt surprised about our payment model.

Our plugin page and our pricing page say that we are a premium service. We give customers up to a week after their free trial to subscribe.

Unlike many services, we don’t mine/sell/repurpose your readers data in order to sell ads elsewhere. We also use our own servers to compute all your recommendations and analytics and use a CDN to serve images.

We put a lot of effort — both human and machine — into helping our publishers build their audience. To keep the lights on and to keep building new features, we rely on our customers paying for value.

If you would like to talk more, feel free to write me at ryan @ contextly com.

Sincerely,

RS
