Much like logmein, £149 2014, £249 2015, £349 2016.

The problem with cheap 'unlimited' deals is they are often backed by venture capitalists with deep pockets who can sustain a loss for a number of years, once they have gained market share and put smaller longer established companies out of business they up their prices to make their profits and then sell up. Not saying that is the case here but it is seen time and time again. Sadly most customers are cost driven and so follow the cheapest deal.

I avoid unlimited deals as they only go two ways, bust or expensive and generally lack anything near the quality of service and support I would expect as they can't afford the staff costs.
