Hard to say without more details but:
If your service has a real professional end user (i.e. someone who will make a living off your service), a multiple tier one seems a better fit. For example look at smugmug - they have their free account, a couple of paid accounts aimed at "serious" users, and a professional account aimed at people selling photography.
Evernote has only one paid service but that matches their usage base - either free/casual users, or people who have bought into the whole "second brain" idea. But note that the evernote paid account is still reasonably priced.
- bandhunt 16y agothanks. good point on the pro end user. I'm not looking so much for advice on "tiers", but if I should split out the premium services into multiple premium services. eg: evernote could split their premium service into two services: - supersized uploads ($2.50/mo) - advanced collaboration ($2.50/mo)
- frossie 16y agoOh I see - you are talking about a la carte pricing. Interesting question - as a user my gut reaction is I would be happy to pay $5 for 5 features, of which I only use 3, so that way you get an extra couple of bucks out of me. But, again the key thing is that $5 has to seem reasonable to me. If you were charging $100 for 5 features and I only use 3, I would definitely want the choice to only spend $60, or else I might decide not to spend any money at all.
