Though it didnt last , I feel like I could have lost the money in worst ways I guess.

There were a ton of problems with the software to the point where they had to create a whole new site just for complaints.I was shocked to see that many people complaining and the worst part, the software owners didn't even acknowledge the complaints instead they either deleted them or just told them it's all in their head.There were major flaws with the software that didn't warrant the $997 set up fee and the $97 monthly fee to keep it.Also you mentioned the comps.
