I think my major hesitation is your pricing model, I don’t want to be surprised by some bill and that is the biggest turn off from your product.
I just want to peacefully launch my side projects without being “locked” into a vendor or framework that will start charging me on a random day after it was free.
That’s why I opted out of porter and learned to deploy and build my own automation pipeline.
Please change my mind porter guys.
- sungrokshim 5y agoPricing discussion is always tough for startups because the pricing model evolves so quickly and so often. As I address in the post, we are still figuring out the specifics and we completely understand that some users will be turned off by this - we apologize for this uncertainty. I am aware how naive and hand-wavy this sounds, but we genuinely mean it when we say our goal is to not charge smaller companies and indie devs. We are not maliciously avoiding the pricing discussion because we want to "surprise charge" users later. It is simply too premature to settle on pricing at the moment because we do not have enough data on the "bigger users", who will likely comprise most of our revenue. We have no intent to go out of our way to squeeze revenue from smaller users hosting side projects - quite frankly, the addressable revenue of that user segment is just too low compared to that of larger businesses for us to even fight that battle.
