Bootstrapping and how it affects you

‘Ello again!

In case you didn’t know, Pictually is a completely bootstrapped project, meaning that it does not rely on exterior funding. Nonetheless, in order to keep providing an awesome, reliable service, funding is needed to take care of a number of costs, such as for web-hosting, server space, and most importantly feature development.

That being said, Pictually’s basic means of funding is what is known as a ‘freemium’ model. Basically, services are provided free of charge with limited features, and for a small fee many more awesome features become available.

Pictually will be rolling this plan out progressively, with premium accounts offering some awesome new perks such as unlimited space (a feature which will become conditional), user stats and page analytics, multiple layouts and enhanced profile customisation, amongst others.

Fear not, the current free accounts will remain of utmost importance and be as customisable as ever!

If, however, you are feeling generous, and would like to give back to Pictually, you are very welcome to donate through the following link or the one in the footer of the live site.

If you have any questions, shoot an e-mail at hello@pictually.me!

Thanks for your support, and stay awesome!
