I’m an indie dev that wrote a useful Electron app for designing and printing labels (both rolls and sheets), data import, rendering batches of images, etc. My competition is either free (DYMO/Brother) or $500 commercial software for expensive printers.
So how do I price? For a year I had my price at $47.99 one-time and did OK. A month ago I segmented my licenses/users into Personal (same price of $47.99) and Business ($147.99) licenses. Business license has the ability to print barcodes. Revenue increased w a slight decrease of units sold.
Then last week I launched a Business subscription at $14.99/month. Everyone is still buying the one-time licenses. I don’t blame them... I generally avoid subscriptions.
Soon I’ll be releasing a Shopify app/integration and I’m really curious how that user group will respond. As far as I know, merchants are already used to monthly costs so it just becomes the cost of operating their store.
I need a pricing consultant. Check out my pricing page at https://label.live/download https://label.live/download

- semireg 6y agoCan you help me understand how you, as a user, would prefer to see it add up?
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoIf something costs more to rent over the next 12 months than buy outright then I am going to buy it outright.
- HatchedLake721 6y agoNow test removing one time price for businesses and keep monthly pricing.
