How much are users willing to pay for this? Assume someone launched an open source tool that pulls data from segment (or maybe segment launches this themselves

  Thanks for asking. Figuring out how much I'd charge is a weak area of the project right now. I don't think I'll charge for the tool as you currently see it, but instead for a future version that includes more (maybe things like investor updates, referral/k-factor tracking, channel segmentation, etc). A proxy for demand is startups who've paid me to implement their metrics and dashboards. That's not necessarily proof that other startups will pay for a tool on a monthly basis, but was enough to motivate me to release a free tool to the world. I love the consulting but found myself asking the same questions over and over. So I created this product to solve a big problem for myself, too. I am not totally sure how to respond about competitors. There are many more possible competitors besides Segment, too. The biggest competitor right now is spreadsheets, though. So many teams look at metrics on a daily/weekly basis and hand enter things like WAU, acquisition cost, retention into a Google spreadsheet.
