Great points here and a related anecdote: Last year I came across a productivity app that I absolutely loved and signed up for the paid version right away. Unfortunately, they’re charging less than $5/month. The service is buggy and infrequently updated now because you can tell the founder (solo dev) doesn’t make enough money on it to continue making upgrades. If he had only charged more in the beginning the app would be both sustainable and growing. I’ve learned my lesson and now run some back of napkin math on likelihood of success at that pricing before making a commitment to a service.
