Planscope's revenue is fairly small right now, but trust me when I say Freckle could give Amy and Thomas a very comfortable life if that's all they were working on.
Subscription products can take a while to build up in monthly recurring revenue. Product's like Freckle have been around for 4+ years.
RE: Selling to developers/designers
I'm a developer, so it'd naturally be a lot easier for me to make a product for my peers than it would for, say, construction managers.
There are a lot of people doing very well selling information products to non-developers.
RE: Consulting is reliable
It is. I could have made a lot more money this year had I focused on just that, but the long term equity isn't comparable. I'm fairly certain I could maintain a comparable growth rate with Planscope if I were to do absolutely nothing with it right now. Given enough time, the work I put into it this year will pay off.
