As of today, MintFly.com Professional (our full featured version) is ad-supported, and therefore, FREE to everyone.  This means anyone can use MintFly.com to access virtually all of Salesforce.com without a monthly subscription fee.

Why is MintFly.com suddenly free?

Last year over 10% of MintFy.com’s free users upgraded to our professional edition. We have seen a big drop in upgrades in January. We believe that MintFly offers the best feature combination and so the reason for the drop in upgrades must be the doom and gloom news about the global economy.

As a good neighbor in the online business community, we would like to make things easier for you. We plan to keep MintFly free (ad-supported) until the Dow Jones Composite Index returns to 10k.

Want to search, see, call your contacts, map your accounts, and update opportunities from your iPhone?  Yes, we can.  ;-)

We have been live on the AppExchange for only a few days now and we’ve received some very positive feedback from our customers and a few of our favorite bloggers:  Lucidera Blog and YolkSmoke

MintFly.com will be undergoing a big version upgrade this Sunday just after Salesforce.  We will be following the same downtime schedule, since we figure you wouldn’t be able to access Salesforce during this time anyway.

What is in this new release?

1. Performance (Free & Pro):  We have tuned the application to communicate quicker with Salesforce to get your data.
2. Delete Record (Pro Only):  Before you could edit – now you can delete too.
3. Related List and Search Pagination (Free & Pro):  Many of our related lists contain a lot of activity history, so when you look at related lists you need to scroll WAAAAAAAAY down to see the next section.  With the new version you will see the first 10 related records and then be able to tap a “see more” link which will add in 10 more related records.
