It looks like something I would want to use -- but I can't tell whether it's priced in a range I can afford. I mentally equate the lack of a price list with a hard-sell, high-price sales approach.

We're targeting the enterprise market so most of our customers have a security budget that this would fit nicely in. Our model is subscription based, allowing customers to run as many tests as they want. If you look at how much a breach costs organizations it isn't hard for us to justify our price. I can tell you that everyone here at ThreatSim has been in IT for well over 10 years and we're no fans of high pressure sales. Most of our business is based on referral and repeat customers.

That answer didn't have a single dollar figure in it.

Perhaps you could tell us an average price (or median, which would be lower), or even just an example of a price someone paid.

If I can't tell what this is going to cost me to within a factor of 10, then I probably can't afford it. Based on what I see here, the entry level cost might be as cheap as $100, or as expensive as $50,000.

I still don't have a clue as to your price. What's your minimum subscription period? If I have 10 people in my company, what's the price for a minimum subscription? If I have a hundred people, what's the price for a year? Should I just go away if I don't have a thousand people to test?

If you put some of this information on your website, you could get some of the prequalification done for free.

Same. Makes me feel like the services offered are dubious in value.
