The Truth About ConsignPro's Future

WARNING: Buying ConsignPro today may trap you
in a "Forced Migration" to expensive cloud software later.

Protect your business from being forced into an expensive subscription model. Recent changes in the industry suggest that users of legacy systems like ConsignPro are being steered toward high-cost cloud platforms. Unlike companies that are sunsetting their desktop products, our Consignment Software remains dedicated to providing a stable, offline-capable solution that you own for life, ensuring your long-term independence and financial security.

The "Bait and Switch" Strategy

For two decades, Wilson marketed himself as the "anti-subscription" alternative. But recent market moves suggest a betrayal of that philosophy. Since aligning with SimpleConsign (a cloud-based subscription company), he has effectively become a feeder system for its own competition.

The Funnel is Clear:

  1. Phase 1: Sell you a "One-Time" license for legacy software today.
  2. Phase 2: Provide minimal support while emphasizing the "benefits" of the Cloud.
  3. Phase 3: Eventually pressure you to "upgrade" to SimpleConsign to keep working... at $159 to $359 per month forever.

Don't Buy "Zombie Software"

Software is considered "Zombie" when it is still being sold but is no longer the developer's priority. If the company's focus has shifted to moving you to a different platform, who is fixing the bugs in the current oneWho ensures it will work with future Windows editionsSee complaints .

The Data Sovereignty Betrayal

The creator of ConsignPro spent 20 years telling shop owners that monthly fees were a scam. Now, by funneling users to SimpleConsign, that philosophy has been abandoned. If you buy ConsignPro today, you are likely buying a ticket to a future subscription you didn't ask for.
