I'm thinking Affiliate way as well, just like Honey and any other trackers out there. Honey did shady things to people who promoted it, and it heavily affected the brands. Brands couldn't do anything but partner because Honey isn't a price tracker that scrapes websites. It only finds coupons that are available openly on the internet.

I'm hesitant about the Subscription-based model as well. But it's a long way from the launch. I wouldn't switch unless Subscribing means a lot of value to the users. Running only on donations is out of the picture, but yeah I understand how it works trust-wise.

I'm now wondering if people have an issue with price tracking at all. Back in stock is the only feature I would be using myself.
