I like your comment:) That's the home version of it, the commercial is $149/year per machine. Basically I need traction, and a community of users, so I'm aiming for it being affordable for people to use at home. I'm hoping this will transfer into people wanting to use it in their companies which is where I charge money. As I mentioned before, I'm a complete noob in business and marketing so I might be going about this very wrong. In any case, I'm very open to suggestions.
- charlesdm 10y agoFeel free to give it a try, but I don't think adoption will work that way for this kind of product. Have you thought about reaching out to financial blogs? You need to get this in front of people. Also, $149 is nothing for a business. If you're selling to a financial business, whose $100-200-300k paid employees use Excel a lot, it's easily worth $500-1,000 per license (or more!). You need to price for value in the context in which your software is being used. The trial version should be sufficient to convince people to upgrade -- asking for an e-mail address before initiating the download probably isn't a bad idea. :-)
- aantix 10y agoGet rid of the "home" version. Your market is business. Up your prices 2-3 fold per license. Rename it. P.S. And quit claiming you're a noob. You're in business now. So get to reading on positioning your product and doing some direct outreach.
- anakic 10y agoThank you, all very good points.
