How SaaS Pegasus Makes Money

Open-source Django boilerplate for launching SaaS products quickly

How did SaaS Pegasus monetize?

Summary of the sourced claims below

SaaS Pegasus primarily monetizes through a one-time sale model, selling a proprietary codebase with flat pricing and no subscriptions or recurring fees. Customers can also purchase an annual upgrade or upgrade a license within the first year by paying the price difference between tiers plus $49, which provides some recurring revenue. Cory Zue has described the income as starting at zero each month and climbing throughout the month based on sales.
