PutPlace have put pricing in place
PutPlace ran a long and generous beta. The quality and innovation attributable to the service should make the client move from happy beta to formal client an obviousness where the smart money is concerned.

PutPlace have a very open and outward looking attitude to business. This type of wording is used commonly but in this case it’s for real. Joe Drumgoole was recently asked by Tom O’Connor from databackup.ie about his pricing policy. The essence of the question was how it was possible to make the service so affordable. Tom also explained in frank format that he would not be offended if he was told this was none of his business. I can assure that we were just as curious as Tom and while not brave enough to ask we hung around for the answer.

Joe however ignorded the offered caveat regarding not answering and answered in as frank and open a manner as I reckon is possible. I won’t provide the details or URL here but I am providing a link to the PutPlace retail pricing page. If you want specific information about PutPlace costs you should contact them directly.

Suffice to say, the maths are lean and offer the consumer serious economy of scale benefits. This obviously requires significant uptake and some accuracy regarding actual account usage percentages. Given the length and success of the beta and the decision to announce it is ending, it would seem likely that these requirements are being achieved. We all wanted an answer. We got one. It put us in our place.
