Hello,
I just discovered this website yesterday and have to say the Pralana Gold retirement calculator looks very impressive! I am considering making the purchase; however, I do have a question before I pull the trigger. I noticed in some other posts that a new Pralana web-based version of the calculator is going to be rolled out in early 2024 and the Excel version will be discontinued. Given that, does it make sense to purchase the Excel version now (Sept 2023) or should I just wait until the web-based version is released? I am hesitant to commit if the Excel version will soon be obsolete and not supported in the future. Appreciate any guidance as to how best to proceed. Thank you!
Stuart - Any update on the the web version? When it might go live? Pricing for returning customers?
Hi Stuart,
I like the current Excel product. I don’t like on-line applications and annual subscriptions. Did you consider keeping the Excel and just fixing major bugs and maintaining major compatibility? What about having a survey with the current customers to see their preference?
Thanks,
Gaby
Hi Stuart,
On-line application means that my data goes online. I am trying to minimize online access for security reasons. I know that you will have good security but many big companies with good security fail to secure their customers’ data.
Annual subscription usually means that if I don’t pay, the application is blocked or restricted. The current Excel application is not blocked even if I decide not to upgrade.
I like Excel since I can use it with my Excel programs and move data easily.
Thanks,
Gaby
Will I need to pay each year to be able to access PRC?
