This looks like baremetrics and bestunning.net combined. Sort of nice to have those two things integrated for what looks to be about half the price. Not sure it'll last though after baremetrics secured an investment from stripe itself. I also found out about baremetrics after emailing stripe (they recommended it). Hard to compete with that without some compelling differentiation.

  Thanks for your feedback. I have some ideas in mind to create the differentiation you mentioned. But it was time to launch this thing and learn more from real users before building everything I'm thinking of.

Looks like https://baremetrics.io https://baremetrics.io and http://hookfeed.com http://hookfeed.com combined. What are the main differences?

Congrats for launching. Baremetrics just received funding, but I'm sure Stripe doesn't mind competition in this area - it just makes ppl use Stripe more. Looking forward to further developments.

Your competitor (Josh Pigford, creator of baremetrics.io) created post about why unlimited plans are bad. I think, that it will be nice to read for you. https://baremetrics.io/blog/never-offer-unlimited https://baremetrics.io/blog/never-offer-unlimited

  Thanks for your comment. The post (and the discussion below) is very interesting. I will think about it after/while adding more features.

Congratulations for launching, but maybe you can rise the prices a little bit. You are providing a lot of value for business owners. BTW you had "gurantee" in the pricing section. Shameless plug: I launched today a similar product for Paymill, http://rhinometrics.io http://rhinometrics.io

  Thank you, and congratulations for launching Rhinometrics. Regarding prices - you're the second person pointing that out, maybe I should really think about it :-) (+ I'll fix the typo - thanks)

    Do you have an idea of who your dominant customer segment will be? That'll help you determine a more pinpoint entry point for pricing. Pricing is definitely tricky to work on though. I recommend doing some split testing of the pricing for your plan and seeing which dollar amounts convert across all your versions.

This is really cool looking. I'll have to get it a shot. I was just thinking today that I could use something like this.
