What did they say?
As far as pricing, how is this hosted/ran where is that website they download from - do you maintain it? Why only have one customer?
are you selling an "app" - then its a one-time fee.
What you really need to get from your single customer is really how much value and $ it provides him and he gets that discount because he is customer#1 and is sharing data with you on how well it does for him -- which would allow you to know what value it can provide to others...
If you cant find other customers, either its a one-time fee to him (proportionate to the value it provides) - or you need to do a monthly or per event cost.
If he is doing 5-15 shows per year, make the app $1,000 per show, and roll and explain your pricing to him.
Limit the number of hours/events that youre available for support.
Otherwise - move on.

You made a mistake. He didnt ASK you to do anything - he PAID you to do a thing (unless you already built it for free)
Charge a Fton if he wants [feature] - else, you are either partners, or your an hourly consultant. based on your comment - it would appear that you SOLD him the entire thing already.
What you should do is say that [feature] will be in your next release, and he would have to subscribe to that new release to access [feature]
If he is reque$ting [feature] - then he should pay for [feature] - value your effort and time and consternation accordingly. (but in his mind, I think he feels he bought and paid for the whole app)
- codingclaws 3y agoHe responded with "how would it work"? I think he is referring to his feature request and is ignoring my payment renegotiation. He asked me to build this system for him. He bought a web hosting account, and I deployed an instance of the system to his hosting. Show vendors can log into the public site. And he is the only one that can log into the admin area. How do I ask him how much value it provides him? Do I just point blank ask him how much he makes per year or per show?
