I put this article together after reading and commenting in this earlier HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14279870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14279870 I think there's a real attitude when starting as a side project to go with rock bottom pricing, feeling like it's the only way to compete with the more established players. Unfortunately, I think this hinders the progress of many exciting projects and slows down their early growth. In short, you almost definitely can and probably should charge more.
