    Intros Rent-to-Own for Xfer Serum

    [​IMG]

    We are very excited to announce that we now offer Xfer’s award-winning synth, Serum, on a game-changing Rent-to-Own plan. This new approach lets you use the full version of Serum right away, paying off monthly installments of only $9.99 until you own the plugin outright.

    Serum is available from Splice for $9.99 USD per month, with the first three days being free. A lifetime license is granted after completion of the plugin’s retail cost.


    More info @ Splice | Rent-to-Own Serum

    P.S.
    To get it full you have to pay $9,99 x 19 months. of course.

    While each of us has to decide if a certain price is worth it, I welcome this new payment method. I hope others will follow. It's one of the fairest non-profit-oriented financing model. It is not a leasing model nor a credit. You can even pause, if you don't need the synth for a month or more. And you know that your money isn't wasted, but a full licence is the goal.

    I welcome such innovative ideas.

    Sub to own is WAY more appealing than the sub to lease approach of likes of East West's Composer Cloud. I said ages ago they should be doing this as it's a win-win for all. People get to buy software at affordable prices and companies get to sell more legal versions of their software. If anyone stops their subs before purchasing the item, then the company has essentially had an income on the same sub to lease approach they have now. Sonar recently implemented a similar subs model with Sonar Platinum I believe, subbing until you own the software.

    Yes. This is dope! I will almost certainly do this, even though I have never considered it till now.

    Absolutely the way for all devs to go. Big thumbs down for any company wack enough to try and lease 'fairydust' for all eternity...

    This is the smartest thing companies can do. I bet sales will go through the roof. People are more willing to pay 10 bucks a month than shelling out 190 all at once. Easy on the wallet. Buyer owns legit and seller gets sale. Win win. I welcome this method of payment also.

    I like the other plugin from expansion for a $1.00 now that was a price you can not refuse. It's better than most though, I mean $10.00 a month
    is good but $1.00 is way way better.

    I appreciate the response! I ended up purchasing it as well a while ago and testing on another machine before installing on my main. Thanks again for taking the time to hit me back, I was checking to see if anyone had for a while

    nice move.
    the best if they want to survive actually, considering piracy and that there's still some competition.
    I'm planning to own it this way also, but it's not my main synth (yet), I'd appreciate they do the same with avenger & others.

    it's more difficult to do this with bigger (better) synth like omnisphere, or kontakt libraries obviously, but this kind of offer and
    cloud services like EWQL did are great options for the future.

    I think a cheaper online complete production tool composed of softwares suite from various developers is the next step

    thx for sharing

    I can not remember it has been a while but I do know that there were several for $1.00. I was shocked also.

    When will there be rent-to-own on software that actually warrants rent-to-own?

    Like Omnisphere 2. Is Omnisphere 2 going to be rent-to-own?

    It makes no sense to have a $200 plugin available to rent-to-own, but they don't have the $600 plugin available for rent-to-own...

    I tried the sylenth rent to own, just to properly demo sylenth1, alhough i have better synths...

    BUT it requires a credit card even with paypal

    While with serum it all works, kinda, there is some fiddling in setting it up


    IF you need everything to work fast, just cahs the price and be done with it

    Other then that, great idea
