Maybe you can find a way to charge for it in richer countries, while keeping it free in developing countries?
People might feel more likely to pay for it if there as some nominal, charitable aspect to it: "Buy now and help support women's health clinics in Nigeria", that sort of thing.
- shyn3 13y agoI like the idea you mention. Sounds like it can be used for many endeavours. OP, do you have any traction in developed nations?
- mncolinlee 13y agoYes, the top country for my customers is the United States followed by the Philippines and Nigeria.
- wikwocket 13y agoI was just going to say, if the problem is that you are losing money due to the popularity of your free app, the clear solution is to charge for it. Either people will pay, or they will stop using it. Now, that's a bit cynical, and given the OP's concern about keeping it free for those in need, there are a few variations on this: * Only charge for the 'pro' version which has more features/no throttling * Charge based on licensing requirements, or some other requirement that people with money would care about, but those without do not * Charge via microtransactions, but offer free credits to nonprofits/those in provable need
