Congrats on the launch! Looks very similar to my service, https://ipinfo.io https://ipinfo.io :) I launched that around 3 years ago and at the time there weren't even any paid plans. It now handles close to 500 million API requests a day.
I'd recommend killing the unlimited plan - you'll lose out on revenue with that.
Good luck! Feel free to reach out to me if there's anything you think I could help with.
- tallytarik 9y agoThank you! And congratulations on 500m requests per day - that's insane! Thanks for the tip on pricing, the plans are essentially guesswork at the moment until I see some real users with real usage. I checked out some other services (including yours ;) ) and saw a wide range of pricing, some that had unlimited plans and some that didn't. Will definitely be something to revisit in the future.
- JeanMarcS 9y agoI think coderholic gave you a good advice. If you're on amazon with a pay per use plan, you should immediately do the math of what it's going to cost you if someone does 1M request a day. Let's say someone who make an equivalent service, sells cheaper plans, and uses yours for example.
- lykr0n 9y agoHow many people pay for your service? Anything above $100 a month, and I can buy the database from MaxMind.
