Why aren't you charging more for this? Serious question. Does the value your service provides your users equal $3.99? More? Less?
What line of thought resulted in $3.99/year? Are you interested in this being a business or is this just a hobby?
[edit: explanation]
I ask this because there is no way I would pay $3.99/year for something like this. At that price, you have no real reason to keep the service running and thus I wouldn't risk becoming dependent on it. I will use free things from Big G and company but if I am going to use a niche service, I want to know the developer is motivated enough to make it better and keep it alive.
- thenomad 14y agoI couldn't agree more. I'd actually be happier paying $3.99 a MONTH if the tool was in any way important to me. If you're feeling guilty about charging, a) don't - it's your time you're using up to make this thing! and b) spend, say, 50% of the money you make on improving the tool.
- cyberpanther 14y ago3.99 is because I want to generate some revenue in the short term, but still have it basically free. In the long term there will be premium features that will cost more. Once these become popular I may even go to a freemium model. But for right now I want it cheap to get a lot of users but also try to generate revenue to at least fund part time development. Right now I'd rather have more users then fewer at a higher price. This is also all subject to change as I'm just trying to find out what works. But right now my thought is this should be as cheap as an android or iphone app.
