It's scary. I sell about 120 copies per month. I suspect charging more will drop it down to fewer than 100 copies. I'd rather more people use the app.
I will be working on adding facial recognition; I might have a pricier option for facial recognition features perhaps.
- echelon 6y agoI've never had the experience of pricing a product, but my intuition tells me this could be a win. We occasionally see articles on HN that describe how to increase prices without losing your audience. Perhaps there are others here that can offer feedback and advice. Research and experiment. If you do embark on this, a postmortem write-up with your learnings would be a great read. Best of luck with whatever your plans are. It's a cool app!
- yboris 6y agoThank you! For the reference, until I released version 3.0.0 (last November) the price was $3.50 (and all of it went to charity). The number of sales didn't take a hit - but it coincided with some publicity and major improvements to the app.
- k3nsa1 6y agoGreat App! Just purchased 2 copies cause I am lazy building it from source & cause charity, why not! Tested the demo about 1 hour ago and I was impressed. Very good UI and fast scanning, although on the icons are a bit on the small size for my taste but excellent otherwise. Keep up the great job :)
- yboris 6y agoThank you! In the settings (scroll to the bottom) there is a "-" and "+" between "reset zoom" button. That will help you adjust icon size and text across the app. Great for a 4K TV.
- galaxyLogic 6y agoHow do you collect the money?
- yboris 6y agoI use https://chec.io/ https://chec.io/ checkout process (a service) which uses PayPal or Stripe for processing payment (it allows more payment types but these are the only two I use).
