This week, we made a few changes over at Click2Map regarding our paying accounts. To refresh everyone’s memory, Click2Map offers 4 different plans for its users: The Bronze plan (free), the Silver plan (making uploads and distribution easier), the Gold plan (Bronze+Silver+ supports CSV, XML, KML and geoRSS imports and exports) and the Platinum plan, where our database becomes yours.

For pure marketing purposes, we decided to restrict the number of maps and markers each account holders are allowed to create (see it like Facebook’s 5,000 friends limit policy). It goes a little something like this:
- Bronze accounts are limited to 1 map and 50 markers
- Silver: 5 maps and 250 markers
- Gold: 10 maps and unlimited markers
- Platinum: Unlimited maps and markers

Rest assured: If you are already signed up to Click2Map, those changes will not apply to you. We value the trust that all of our previous customers have showed towards our products, and we want to reward this trust. Also, for all of our customers, starting from the Silver accounts, you can now share password-protected maps if you want to keep your markers accessible to just a few eyeballs.

There is one new addition in our line of products that we are pretty proud about: because we have limited the number of maps and markers, we are launching the unlimited option for each of our products. Here is a clear example of how an unlimited option may apply:

If you need Click2Map to embed 10 maps with several hundreds customized markers, and driving directions on your site, you have to sign up to the Gold plan (10 maps and unlimited markers). However, in terms of tools, you do not need anything higher than the Silver version. Hence the unlimited Silver version, where you can do all you need and create as many maps and markers as you wish!

We didn’t do this just because we like to add fine prints into our plans: The unlimited Silver plan is $40 cheaper than the regular Gold plan ($149 vs $190). and the same goes for each of our products. In other words, where it may seem like we limited our offer, we actually made it more fair for every paying customer, and more flexible to fit all needs.

We hope that you will find this news as exciting as we do, and we welcome any feebacks from our users. To prove that we care, there is one last new addition that our customers have been requesting so heavily that we could not not let them have it: For our valued Platinum customers, the Click2Map logo will no longer appear on your maps once you publish them!
