On a tangent, I do think that software businesses undercharge heavily. It works for VC-funded businesses but for bootstrapped companies, we definitely have to charge real prices.
My monthly Blue Bottle budget is probably around $50, I don't see why I wouldn't pay as much if not more for a piece of software :)
- kstrauser 5y agoI don't want to downplay what this specific app is doing, and there's obviously some interest in this field. But from my perspective, this (and Dex) are way more expensive per year than something like OmniFocus - published by a bootstrapped company - which can solve 90% of the problem in addition to doing a lot more stuff. I think a lot of people could use something like Reminders with actions like "Call Mom; repeat every 6 days". And again, for me, this isn't $144/yr better than that free solution. If I were doing this as part of my job, sure, I'd happily ask my company to cover the cost. I don't see a scenario where I would pay that much for personal use. (BTW, I do literally have a Reminders list called "Maintain relationships" with actions like "Buy a birthday card for my niece", "Call Mom on her wedding anniversary", "Text Joe", and such. It keeps me from getting too out of sync with the people I care about. I'd pay a couple of dollars a month if there were something that helped automate setting up and maintaining that list.)
