Solspace Offers Add-On Bundle

If you always find yourself picking up a bunch of Solspace add-ons for each project, you might find their new add-on bundle interesting.

For $179.95 you get 5 add-ons: User Module, Tag Module,  Related Entries Module, Video Module and Selected plugin. As pointed out in their blog post announcing the bundle, you get 25% when buying the software together.

Looks like a great way to save some cash.

Solspace have never been known to reduce their pricing.

This smacks of Solspace getting prior sight of EE2.0 and selling off their 1.x range of material.

Their offerings; User, Tag, Related Entries, Video and Selected, have all now been covered by FREE extensions and plugins available on the EE forums.

Solspace code is fantastic, their user documentation is worse than crap. If you will not be upgrading to EE2.0 this may be worthwhile for you.
Otherwise this tells me EE2.0 is near ready.

“Selling off?”

These are digital assets, not physical items. There’s no inventory to sell off. Also, the 1.6.x version of EE isn’t going away, so these add-ons will still be viable products.

@Flatulent Badger…

I’m assuming you haven’t had your coffee yet… so I’ll cut you some slack for your flatulence.

That being said…

Ellislab has announced plans to continue selling and supporting the 1.6.7 branch even after version 2 is released. Many people will not upgrade right away and some will probably never upgrade.

So Solspace offering is great for some. Would you rather they not discount it at all?

The release of 2.0 is known to be coming by all in the EE community. Solspace isn’t try to hide something from us or work us over. Maybe we can cut them some slack too.

I haven’t seen a free offering that does anywhere near what that fantastic User module does. Which one is that?

@Andy

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Playa’s no longer free, either. Playa 2.x is $69 (and worth it!).

@Flatulent Badger,

I will agree with you on the quality of the documentation.
