paying site?

Question

Why didn't they make it a paying website? i am glad but somebody said they were going to, and I think they worked for Spanishdict.com

Answer 1

Hi!

Everything at SpanishDict.com is completely free until now, we haven't heard anyone saying this, so l'm not sure if the information you provided is right or no.

Why didn't they make it a paying website?

Simply because right now the SpanishDict community has more than 300.000 users, and l doubt that they'd have the same number of users if the made it a paying site, as many of the people can't afford that.

can't "afford" that. :) - pesta, Sep 12, 2011

Answer 2

As far as I know there is no intention of making this a chargeable Spanish learning web site. I don't know where you heard this rumour but I am sure you can safely disregard it.

Answer 3

Ads pay for this site. I'm not aware of any plans to change that.

I don't mean to be repetitive. I have asked this before, but still curious: Where are the ads? - storch, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 4

I find the ads are getting better and better and more relevant to my interests. Obviously it helps that I live in Spain so a lot of the ads are in Spanish.. but they advertise bookshops and universities and Spanish courses and all the sort of things I'm interested in so I often have good reason to click.

At the same time I would be willing to pay a small fee, say 5 euro a year, not to have to see ads. I doubt all my clicks are worth 5 euro a year to SpanishDict so I think it would be cool if this were an option. - rabbitwho, Sep 12, 2011
