Sure. I haven't settled on pricing by any means. Edit: Speaking of which, if the $3/month price is onerous I have some referral codes I'd be happy to give away

- chrischen 6y agoCharging for it is fine, and if your goal is to do an MVP test, a subscription is a very high bar. You're excluding people who may actually pay for such as service if it was better priced (such as a one time payment). If I'm planning to print this and place it somewhere I'm not going to do it knowing that if I stop paying your $3/mo fee the QR code stops working. It may sound good from your perspective to get free money every month, but you have to think from the customer's perspective. Not to mention that alternatives for your product are a 2 minute google search away. Your pricing has to reflect the market and availability of alternatives.
- koch 6y agoI made another comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23086939 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23086939, but essentially this is a link "shortener"/redirect service in addition to the QR code. So there is a recurring cost on my end, it doesn't actually _directly_ point to your URL
- chrischen 6y agoThat still doesn't change the proposition from the consumer side. I can do this thing with a fixed cost, and there are plenty of free shorteners out there. Just because you've invented a way to have recurring costs on your end doesn't mean your product can justify it in the market. If the product is analytics then it should be clear that's what people are paying for, instead of the logo bit. People searching on the internet will hit your page expecting the first thing it's marketed towards, and associate the pricing with that.
