Honestly, the costs with both WooCommerce and now Jetpack are really getting out of hand...especially if you run an agency.

By the time you charge something for the design and setup, add WooCommerce and 3-4 extensions and then add the PayPal or Stripe fees...and I'm not even counting the hosting fees, you might as well just go with Shopify.

So, say I want to jump onboard Jetpack CRM and offer it to my clients. US$5.40 per month is awesome. Then I realize, no, I have to prepay for the year. But that's not all, I actually have to pay a whopping US$649.00 upfront and then hope I can get 10 clients to sign up. In the meantime, I'm carrying those costs. I guess the counter argument is that the cost is only $5.40 vs. $30. Sure...whatever.

Anyway, great job Automattic. Maybe you don't want resellers or agencies anymore. You don't an excellent job pricing us out of the market. I actually have a competitor that gave up on WordPress and decided to pushed their clients over to Wix. Maybe I should do the same.
