I agree that this way seems to work well for many. What happens when small towns with 1 ISP lose internet connectivity? What happens when your servers are down temporarily because something happened that you did not foresee? Like when Google Docs had downtime that ended up costing cities using their documents quite a bit of money. I trust my network, not other networks, for mission-critical applications. Over the course of 2 years our costs at your current rate would be $1,416.00 for our 5 doctors to use your scheduler. I could pay someone around $1,000.00 to make a program that is very similar and sell it online as well, make my investment back and have the software for free. I could probably even do the work myself if I had the time. Your program is great, but I would say that over the course of time the pricing arrangement benefits you much more than it benefits the end-user, which is something that your eventual competitors will live on. Think Walmart.
