You can become a buzztouch Member now. Information about the process and benefits was posted earlier today...you can see the annual fee now. You can also become a member by completing the form. Look for some forum badges tomorrow. Neat! See Account > Membership (left side menu on account screen)

Sweet, thanks David! Stoked on the price! Love the product, can't see what happens now that you guys have a bigger team for 2013.

Nice to meet the team. Love the product too! Any rough idea when the push notification will roll out? Farcat

Hey David, Thanks for the update.I have just joined :) I look forward to be part of your amazing community here... Cheers and all the best, John

i become a guest noooooo lol question i had a api what is going to happen to my old api wen i purchase this membership also stoked with the price

@hacerapps: Nothing. There's information in your account about this. Have a look at your Self Hosted server screen..it's the same as it was. Nobody is losing anything :-)

Nice price David. Won't you guys lose money at that price? Will be switching from monthly to annual membership very soon. Thanks

buzztouch Member wohoooo feel better now

@Mr stuck: I guess that depends on how you look at it. And, without sounding silly...money is part of the goal but not all of the goal. Wink :-) For sure we stand to lose some revenue short term. In fact, we expect to. But..we'll all be better off long term. It's a matter of making a very very clear offer so more folks can take advantage of it if they want to. The previous offer (introduced April 2011) turned out to be super-duper confusing. Nobody wins when things aren't easy to understand. At the end of the day we need revenue...no doubt about that. But, after several years of doing this, tons of metrics, and a wonderful audience, we think we do well AND do good.

i dont see my old api info confuse

@hacerapps: Speedbumps....looking...

@hacerapps: I'm seeing two API keys in your control panel. One that was created last year and one that was created a few minutes ago when you became a member. When you become a member you get a new one whether you use it or not. Are you sure you're not seeing both of these in your control panel? They are both showing as "active" in the view I have. Refresh maybe?

ok see it thanks david

I look forward to be part of your amazing community here...

Thanks David. I will change from monthly to annual membership early next week. Will use the saving and throw a few extra $$$ in to go self hosted

Hello David, With the membership any limitation of the API call in self hosted ? Regards

@David. Most british cards won't authorize with this transaction, any fix?

@Kittsy: Give it a go..should work now. @Caradou: The API calls per month on Self Hosted hasn't changed. There are rare occasions when the 100 monthly limit is not enough. If you're bumping into this limit, or suspect you will, use the contact screen (Stephen) and we can work something out. This rarely happens but can sometimes.

Thanks David, lightning fast response as normal.

I don't understand very well this news membership. If we are grandfathered, present in the beta test ... do we need to pay a membership ? I will pay it just to support you and your awesome application, but need to have more informations.

Woohoo! this day has been crazy exciting with the big announcements and now with the membership rollout...I'm psyched Happy and proud to be a member!

I might be sad and create a Photo ID with the logo on, see if I get first class on flights.

Thanx! I have just joined :-)

Love that push notifications will be integrated into CPanel!

Thanks David! Buzztouch has come very far over the past couple of months! Love the new features! Raoul

David, that's a great deal. I'm glad I made it a resolution that 2013 would be the year I seriously put some effort into Buzztouch and actually got on with making some apps rather than just thinking about it for a change, LOL. Self hosted combined with Live/Design mode, plugins and push notifications - Buzztouch is becoming a serious bit of App development kit! Thanks David and all those who contribute so selflessly here. So glad I found Buzztouch, there's a great 'feel' to the place :)

Do we need to manually cancel the monthly. Just paid for the annual memebership. My account still shows this "Current Account: $29.99 / mo".

Nice sound about BT first time in new year! Good luck to all member BuzzTouch but i dont have money to pay, can i pay later David :D ?

I just wanted to say hello with my new fancy badge on my picture....too cool guys.

wow - I can't believe the new pricing structure!! Don't know how you guys are supporting all that new staff you just hired, but I couldn't be happier with today's news!

Nice!! I love the little badge and even more I love the future of Buzztouch!! Let's gooooooo Thanks so much!

Wow. Thanks for privilege David! I def think people like to see annual and monthy rates for memberships and to compare what kind of a discount you get. When the dust settles a more defined 'pricing' page might be helpful. When I try to recruit new folks it's nice to have all that data in one spot so they can compare. Rich PN is a great add for new members. So are some of those new controls I've seen Kittsy working on. Good stuff ahead. Thanks for letting me be a part of the fun!

Thank you David @buzztouch! Your kindly gestures will come back in a wealth of fortunes. LA

I'm in!!! Hey everybody, check out that shiny new badge under my name over there to the left. That's right.....I'm a member....and it shows!!!! Thanks for the great deal David, appreciate it! LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Nice Calypso Kid! Hang on!!!!!!! ian

Hey @ianjamespiano, Congrads buddy! LA

If we do not want to become a member, will we loose our apps? (Or if our membership expires, will our apps be deleted?)

Does this page count anymore? ;) https://www.buzztouch.com/account/upgrade.php

Hey, I'm proud to Be able to post with this badge. Happy New Year everyone. Cheers Miguel

@Madrod I started on your game yesterday.

Cool :-) Thanks Kittsy. Take your time. Absolutly no hurry. Waiting for that new plugin. Cheers Miguel

Love the member logo, great price also :)

@ LA thanks for the congrats! Congrats on ur Member Badge, snazzy! Things are very busy around here. Just how we like em :) ian

I wanna work for Buzztouch well jealous lol

I know right! People are posting that I haven't seen post in a long time..lol I like it! LA

You should work for Buzztouch! Then we get to see those plugins faster ;)

@nadthevlad: Because you were an upgraded account that became a member, you'll see your monthly fee go away. You'll also get an email confirming this. If this doesn't happen in the next few days let us know. @MWFPRO: The upgrade page you're referring to should not be used. In fact, it shouldn't be available. I'll check to make sure it goes away. Thanks for the heads up.

With loads of new exciting stuff heading our way is there any chance that the Google billing code is on the agenda? Would be ace to see it packaged with android code download!

@david... my membership price was $30 this morning but now is show 49. Did something change?

Will have to wait until payday before i join :( just out of curiosity, will my v2.0 server still work without being a member ? will i still be able to create/modify/download code throughout this month (an longer if necessary?)

Yep mine jumped up too? Thought we would have been given enough time to take up the membership. It will be early next week before I can pay out. Be a bit of a shame if we are getting penalized for not joining instantly. Can assure i will join as soon as i am able to do so and I don't care that I only just paid monthly fee only days ago. Hopefully we will still get the option. Over to you David!

Epicweb, Buzztouch has changed it's pricing model, instead of paying 30$ a month... Buzztouch has implemented an annual fee (currently 50$).

MWpro... I realize that the pricing model moved to the membership model. What I said in my post was that my membership price (new pricing model) on https://www.buzztouch.com/account/membership.php changed from $30 this morning to $49 now. Not sure why.. I hope david can comment on that.

Sure hope David can offer an explanation as there was no mention of any time limitations to take up the offer at that price. Otherwise It would have been a case of beg, borrow or steal to get signed up.

This is immense! If I'm reading it right, I'm going from 30 bucks a month to 50 bucks a year for a better service?! Too chuffing right I'm becoming a member!! This is a framework like no other. Thanks to David and all the major players.

I'm not complaining About the price. I'm just wondering why it was $30 for year earlier today And now it's $49 per year. I Also love buzz touch And will purchase the membership your way. I was just hoping to wait a few days to purchase it but now I'm worried that it will go up even more if I wait longer.

Yep you are reading it right. It is immense and even at the full 80 bucks a year its awesome but the price for what looks like all current paying folks was an outrageous 30 bucks but seems to have jumped to 50 now. No chance of anyone not biting the hand off David for this deal or the full price but seems strange it jumped up because we never joined there and then and no mention of any time frame to take up the deal.

Could have been a mistake to ever offer it at $30.

I don't think David would have made a mistake like that but is a possibility. 30, 49.99 or 79.99! Its all good. Hopefully David can shed some light on the subject!

Hi Guys, Chris1 is correct. There was an error in the system. The price is $50 annually. It is being offered at that price for a few more weeks to celebrate the new Membership launch. Tons of stuff going on around here we can't wait for everyone to see in 2013! Thanks for all the continued support. We value each and every one of you:) Ian

Super. Thanks for clearing that up. Like i said above its awesome value whichever price it is.

Epicweb, I agree! I heard that the 30$ price was some early adopter price... I am just glad for the changes and price drop! @David, Thank you for fixing the pricing page!

David, I don't understand very well this news membership. If we are grandfathered, present in the beta test ... do we need to pay a membership ? I will pay it just to support you and your awesome application, but need to have more informations.

Hi Caradou, You do not need to pay for a membership. You can still enjoy BT but without the many features that a membership will bring. More apps, push notifications, live/draft mode, etc... Many many improvements are underway as we speak. (David's off coding) In the coming days you will start seeing more Membership features and Statements from BT Team Leaders. We truly appreciate your support! Ian I should probably go put on another pot of coffee for David now :)

So, for those of us that signed up this morning when it said $30, will we actually be charged $50?

Hi Chris, You were charged the price you originally saw $30. Error on our end but you made out:) Thanks for your support we truly appreciate all the members! ian

Boom!..Member. Thanks! :)

Bam! Nice! You look good in that Badge! Thanks for the support, truly:) ian

Thanks Ian!

If we do not want to become a member, will we loose our apps? I have about 15 apps with BT 2.0 + few apps with self hosted Thx

And now, i'm a member :)

Awesome Caradou! Memebr Badge and Profile pic, nice. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum:) Your support is much appreciated! Ian

@ihatecode - If I've understood correctly, absolutely nothing will change if you choose to remain a guest...but you will be missing out on a lot of amazing new features

Exactly. Our intent with this new membership structure was to simplify the pricing structure. We didn't want to take anything away, just offer a better/easier way to deliver more.

I am a long time buzztouch user and finally David has made it easy for us to give a little back directly to Buzztouch. I just placed my order to become a Buzztouch Member and could not be happier to have done so. I'm really excited to see how Buzztouch will evolve because of the membership program and the addition of the new Buzztouch team members. Thanks!!!!! Wayne

Hello Moto!! Rolls off the tongue:) Thanks for your support!! ian

I wear my members badge with pride. Look forward to the new stuff. Up, up and away! from the rest of the so called app building websites

Where do I get my Buzztouch tee shirt?

Thanks for the support guys! Totally need BT t-shirts:)

And coffee mugs, baseball caps, phone covers and so on......

Added to the list! Ha!

Wow, I missed a lot in a couple of weeks+. Been busy teaching and this semester my classes are packed. I feel left out without the members badge? :)

Hey coderx! New profile pic i see? Lots going on in BT land. The badges do look pretty sweet huh? glad to see you! ian

Hey Ian, Good to see you. Yes sir, I had to evolve with the changes like the BT forum has :) The badges look tight ;). Good to see you as well.
