Thanks - it's not a weekend project and has taken quite some time to build - part of the reason for making the core app open source was to ensure that it could be easily supported long term and empower end users. With regards to price - we are offering the dashboard for a price, the main application that your users will interact with is completely free, so we're charging what we feel is a fair rate for a piece of software you may use for quite some time... Maybe if we end up with a hosted service we'll look at higher monthly pricing.

$150/year is not a sustainable price for the market you're operating in. You could and should quintuple your price. This looks like an excellent product and would basically be a core component of any business that chooses to use it. You should want the kind of customers who don't blink at $750/year, because those are the customers that are going to be ravenous about your product and will continue to pay year after year.

  Solid advice. There's an argument for going after large customers and in this market that seems to be the way things have gone. Everything is big enterprise, if not now it is somewhere we are looking to enter once we are ready.

Are you the only developer on this? If that is the case, this is pretty impressive, as you did both the front and back end; along with the business items.

  I am, it's me and my business partner - she takes care of the financials / legals, and is the voice of common sense and reason. I handle the dev (with a bit of help from bootstrap).

You could 10x your pricing and likely still be lower than all of the commercial API management tools out there.
