Why Pay

Dear Pluckeye User,

I hope you’ve found Pluckeye to be useful, and now I need to ask for your help to keep it going.

Bottom line: I need income. For the past 4½ years, I've been working on Pluckeye full-time and living off savings. I've made Pluckeye free because I am passionate about people getting free from addiction and I want everyone to be able to access it. But I also need to support my wife and son. I'd like to do so by continuing to develop Pluckeye rather than getting a different job.

Here's where you come in. If Pluckeye can generate $30,000 per year, that will be enough for our family to live on. So then I will be able to keep working full-time on it. If it generates more, I can hire others and provide more features and faster technical support. Your sliding-scale subscriptions will make this possible.

I still feel strongly about Pluckeye being available to everyone. If you're not able to pay, there are other ways you can contribute to the project. See the contribution page for more options.

Thanks, and happy Plucking!

– Jon Wilkes (Founder and Developer)
