Q: Am I right that Drip Content and Zapier Integration are not included in any plan?
If I'm reading this right, even if I purchase Tier 6, I still won't get the ability to drip content, use Zapier, add multiple channel communities or create certificates unless I purchase the Scale Add-on, which is $50 a month.
I just want to clarify because on your website the Scale Plan is $119/month with 0% sales commission. So after purchasing the Tier 6 plan I'd still have to pay $79 ($50 + $29) per month to equal the Scale Plan, which is only a savings of $40 per month. And if you add in the Tier 6 cost ($294) and amortize it over one year, that brings it to $104, which means for the first year I'm only saving $15 per month versus your top plan purchased on your website.
Is this math right?

Apr 15, 2025A: Hey, thank you for the question.
I appreciate you taking the time to run numbers for the optional upgrades available for lifetime deal customers of Forento. Your math has a few flaws; the actual price for these features is a lot cheaper than what you came up with. I'm happy to advise on how to best get set up, to get as much access as possible, for as little as possible.
To clarify: the highest tier available here on AppSumo is still a Start plan (same as tier 2). The only difference between getting two codes ($98) and six codes ($294) is the sales commission rate being 2% instead of 10%.
All lifetime deal members have the option of getting the Scale plan addon for $50/month. This means that you can get access to ALL that Forento has to offer for only $50/month. If you plan on getting this addon, there's no reason to get more than a single code. Getting six codes and then getting the $50/month addon would be redundant, as all the features would be included in the addon anyway.
Also, I want to clarify two things that I believe you got wrong in your math:
- You don't need to get the Scale plan addon for $50/month and then also the No Commission addon for $29/month. The Scale addon includes everything from the No Commission addon.
- The original Scale plan is not $119/month, it's $149/month. The $119/month price is only if you pay annually.
Again, thank you for taking the time to run the numbers. I appreciate you being interested in Forento and being careful when it comes to picking a plan for your training initiative.
Feel free to let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

The way *I* was calculating made the deal less valuable than Kajabi or Kartra, for fewer features.
Thanks for clarifying! ~ Bruce
