I think this product is cool, but honestly you should charge more. The lowest tier after the free should be at least $19. Maybe more. The folks who are purchasing this product are likely not paying for it with their own money (business expense) and therefore can justify a higher cost.
- spreadr 5y agoThank you for the feedback. This is our introductory pricing that will evolve over time. Here is our dilemma - on one hand we want to target indie developers, side projects, bootstrapped startups (that are cost conscious) and on the other hand we want to maximize the earning potential and also not look like a low value product.
- AlexDanger 5y agoI also think you are undercharging for a very useful product. The utility of what you are offering is significant. If I'm a 'cost conscious' startup and I need CSV upload functionality then I either write the functionality myself (30+ hours of dev time + ongoing maintenance?) or I use your service. If the product works as advertised, you could charge $19/month for a basic plan and that will always be better value than 30+ hrs of time a developer will have to put into the CSV problem with all its annoying edge cases. My suggestion is to modify the free plan such that users can upload 10k+ rows per upload, but only 20-30 times per month. Then your 'cost conscious' startup with only 5 customers can test your solution, know that it works for non-trivial amounts of data, and happily fork out $19/month when they hit 20+ customers a month and become less 'cost conscious'.
- spreadr 5y agoThank you for the feedback. It makes a lot of sense. This is a common advice received from a few folks here. We are sure to work on it.
