This looks great! I'm definitely trying it out. My only feedback for you is this: Charge more. You're undercutting yourself a lot by just charging $6 per user.

This looks great! I'm definitely trying it out. My only feedback for you is this: Charge more. You're undercutting yourself a lot by just charging $6 per user. At the very least double that to $12 and it would still be a great price for the value you're offering.

Thanks for your suggestions. We're still early days, and the app needs a lot of improvement though. We'll definitely consider charging more in the future. Cheers,

Disagree with this. Companies like Microsoft, and Zoho provide these types of tools as part of a broader subscription. For $5/user, I can get email, MS Teams, cloud storage, a tool similar to this, plus tons more. Why would I pay $12/user just for this tool?

  What MS product in 365 Business Basic does what this does?

    MS Teams with the Planner and ToDo integrations.

Teams already has chat, meetings, calendar, wiki (but a very shitty one), file storage, docs via a OneNote document. I kind of agree with OP, it looks nice for my personal stuff. But if you are a company, why? And why trust their cloud with your data over a company like Google or MS?

  Because no indie dev can compete with big co when it comes to pricing. It’s just a race to the bottom. Where you have a chance to compete is by offering a differentiated service like q boutique company. I don’t want to get customers that will complain about paying an extra $6. These are the people that will complain about minor things and just cause trouble. Raising prices will get rid of these problematic customers. People that really see the value of a bespoke solution will still pay for it

Please show some evidence to support your assertion. > At the very least double that to $12 Every tool listed in the post costs way less than $12/month. Those are established companies, selling to large businesses, and they probably have more information on pricing than a random HN commenter. A shallow "charge more" with nothing to support that advice does not add anything to these discussions.
