I'm under the impression that someone here at proz.com once wrote of a discount of 50% or is this only wishful thinking? Can anyone comment on this?

I know there is an opportunity to share a license with others, but does this make sense, apart from a price reduction? Any comments from users who are satisfied with such a solution?
Any suggestions welcome! Thank you!

Wf Pro discounts Jul 9, 2014

Hello Sandra,

They sometimes offer discounts (I believe one of their campaigns has just finished), especially when you subscribe to their newsletters.
See also the ProZ group buys http://www.proz.com/tgb/.

I think the tool is OK and worth the money.

Marcelina

WF discounts Jul 9, 2014

I also think that the discount campaign is over, but you can try contacting WF directly and see when their next campaign will be. I have been using WF for 2 years now and love it.
