Very cool project! I often hear people talk about this as an idea, but never really getting further than that :) Some suggestions/notes: - Looking at a recipe

Very cool project! I often hear people talk about this as an idea, but never really getting further than that :)
Some suggestions/notes:
- Looking at a recipe (e.g. https://www.eathow.com/recipes/219 https://www.eathow.com/recipes/219) I think you forgot to use a cursor: pointer; on the "Directions" and "Ingredients", to indicate that they are clickable
- Someone else mentioned, but you don't have to be so apologetic about wanting money for this :) My personal recommendation would be to mark "The money thing" in it's own section, after your self-intro, and then display very clearly as the first item the two different plans (monthly and yearly), perhaps in some more traditional style boxes as you often see (familiarity is oft helpful).
- I completely understand your reasoning behind 14 days of trial, but you might want to consider your long term game more, by extending the trial so that users will get hooked/dependent on it. Take for example the difference in Apple Music and Spotify trial plans, with Apple Music offering 3 months and Spotify only one month. Now I'm not saying that's the only reason, but Apple Music recently overtook Spotify in monthly unique users[0], which will presumeably convert to paying users later on.

- abraham_o 10y agoThank you :) I'll definitely be rethinking pricing and trials after this.
- gregpilling 10y ago"90 days before we ask for a credit card, then less than $40 per year after that. Try us for 3 months let us show you how to save time, money and hassle for less than the cost of a family meal per year" Just a thought to throw out there.
- lighttower 10y agoThe issue with most subscription web services is that people who foresee using it a couple of times a month end up not signing up. Which is all lost revenue. LastPass charges $1 per month. I think that's the magic number for casual users. They may only use this once every month or two. But $12 can easily be forgotten / justified.
- fuckemem 10y agoDon't think. Test. People on HN might be cheapskates but your target might be willing to whip out their wallet sooner.
- haser_au 10y agoI second the re-think about the trial period and pricing. I would like to trial it, but wouldn't be keen on paying after 14 days. If I was consistently using it after 3 months, I would definitely pay US$40 for the year, since I'd save that on grocery bills from saved food. Maybe that's another feature you can add, amount of money the person has saved (approximately) through food re-use. Not sure how you'd implement it though.
