Revenue model

1. Perpetual Software License Sales: NetCat sells perpetual (one-time) licenses for its CMS across multiple editions: Standard (6,900 rubles), Standard+ (12,900 rubles), Business (22,900 rubles), E-commerce (42,900 rubles), Extra (99,990 rubles). The license fee covers the software itself. After the first year, support/maintenance renewals are priced at 60% of the edition cost; renewals purchased before license expiration cost 30% of the edition cost.
2. Annual Support and Updates: The first year of technical support is included with purchase. Subsequent years of updates and technical support are paid renewals. This creates an annuity-like recurring revenue stream from the installed base.
3. Partner Ecosystem / Developer Network: NetCat earns indirectly through its partner ecosystem. Certified development partners build NetCat-based websites and e-commerce solutions for end clients, paying partner fees or acquiring licenses to resell to their own clients.
