Hi, we (pindora.fi) have been doing HaaS now for some months and in my short and narrow experience at least it is not easy to have hardware upfront cost and then software subscription fee for _something new_ people have net learned to pay yet.

What if you would try to have "setup fee" and then "subscription fee"? Could that work?

Same thing, named differently :-)

great idea, we are experiencing the same type of friction from our customers. We think we need to get it to something similar to cell phone contract from the 90's - $0 upfront, $X per month for 2 years
