Mechbunny's $1500 for unlimited usage is clearly a great alternative if you plan for more than just one tube. Besides you can pay to have it personal customized which is a huge plus.

JMB Soft TubeX - $120 ($80 while still in beta) also a good alternative to a monthly fee if you are new and low on money.

A little comparison.

Haven't tried any of the scripts so can't compare features, but unless Tube Studio is way superior to the other scripts I can't see any reason to pay that amount for a lease.

Rumors say Smart Tube Pro is the most advanced tube script on market, so if you are serious about starting in the tube business and focus on a single tube $500 isn't a bad alternative compared to same cost of a 2 years of Tube Studio lease.

exactly.. Not to mention the target appears to be general webmasters of which 90% of them will take a free script over anything else regardless of features. I mean hell I have shit loads of paid scripts and I still use free ones when I can.

I can't think of a single script that was aimed at general webmasters that uses a "lease" option and is or was successful. Webmasters don't want to pay a bill every month to use a script. They aren't the same and don't have the same mentality as program owners. Not to mention new tube scripts are popping up everywhere these days.

Not trying to bash the script or TMM, but facts are facts. General webmasters are not the right target group for a leased script.

nice..I'll have to check this out..

So the tube price wars have begun.

Which means that it's too late now to start a big tube site. Time to move on to the next thing.

$95 one time fee for the engine, then $15 a month, figure if you want mechbunny tube script its gonna cost you $1500 minimum with just a basic script.

You would have to pay per month $15 for 7 years to make it to $1500

Very reasonable.

Mechbunny isn't a fair comparison, $1500 is by far the high end of the tube script scene. Tmm's is $275 first year and $180/yr after that. There are some sub $300 scripts that appear to do everything initially offered with this one. I've just never liked having to pay a recurring charge for a script. I'd rather pay an upfront amount and get it over with. I think the monthly should be an option for those that may want to start on a shoestring budget and they should have a separate one time fee per domain option.

You can make the comparison in price as long as you make a fair comparison on features.

Mechbunny's script is unencoded, and you own it completely. You can change it or customize it in any way you see fit.
You can pay K0nrad to do this for you, or, if he disappears off the face of the earth (which has happened with developers, coders, hosts, and just about every other type of person in this business) you're not left high and dry. You can just hire a new php coder and move on with your life and not have to change backends.
It's also built to scale very easily in a load balanced or cloud/cluster type of hosting environment.

Basically, if you want to build a real, and large, tube site, you want the Mechbunny script.

If you want to build dozens of circle jerk/mgps that look like tube sites, then the Mechbunny script isn't the one you want.
