Philosophy
Summary
After subscribing for one month, you can effectively use the Addin indefinitely for free (see techniques at bottom of this page).
Subscriptions are easy to toggle on/off (via your user profile page)... think of it like a light switch.
Activate your subscription whenever you want to download the latest version or request support.
For any subscriber, I am happy to look at your situation on a screen share and suggest approaches to automating your work. Use the contact link at the bottom of every page on this site to find our email address.
Subscription Plans
We offer two plans: Individual and Corporate. Both unlock the exact same features, the only difference is pricing.
Individual Plans
- Designed for a single user.
- Full access to every feature of the Add-In.
Corporate Plans
- Bulk pricing option that lowers the cost per user.
- Allows the account owner to designate up to 50 authorized email addresses.
- If these email addresses are already registered accounts on the platform, they automatically gain full subscription privileges.
- Ideal for teams, but anyone can choose it if they want wholesale pricing.
Ambassadors
- The corporate account owner can appoint up to two ambassadors.
- Ambassadors are empowered to add or remove authorized email addresses on behalf of the owner.
Free Options
1: Hack "Offline Resilience"
- Buy one month, then cancel immediately (two clicks)
- The addin works offline by design...
- Close out of Excel completely
- Turn on Airplane Mode (click Wi-Fi icon next to the windows clock)
- Load any Host Workbook created with the addin
- The addin will silently bypass subscription checks
- Restore Wi-Fi after the host workbook opens.
- Caveats: No version updates or support unless subscribed
- Throw me a bone: Reactivate for a month whenever you want latest version (or want to ask questions).
2: Corporate SideDoor (Car Insurance)
- Like car insurance covering you in a friend's car, corporate plans cover your use of the Whoa Addin at home.
- Members under Corporate subscriptions can use their API key on up to 4 machines.
- The addin never transmits or stores your data.
- IT departments can rest easy— there's no vector for leaks, storage, or tracking.
3. Earn a Perpetual License (Hunger Games)
- Help the project, and I’ll consider granting indefinite access by adding your email as a member to my Corporate plan.
- Examples:
- Build something cool and share it on YouTube.
- Write documentation or tutorials.
- Report tricky bugs and stick with me through several rounds of fixes.
- If we reach sustainable revenue, I’ll likely comp all 10 founding users with lifetime access.
Commitment to Early Adopters
Early adopters shape the future of this tool—and receive my full attention.
Your pricing will never be undercut in the future.
Your rate is locked in forever via the Terms of Service—this includes Corporate subscriptions too.
Keep your subscription active to retain this protection—gaps in service may forfeit your locked-in rate. You can view the current Terms of Service anytime via the link posted at the bottom of every page on this site.
