  >>> Your comment made me think about something I was missing: ROI. I don't state in the home page that this service will help increase their sales! Silly me! ROI doesn't have to be an increase in sales. It could be increased efficiency (thus lowering the customers labor costs). There are lots of sub-categories, such as a marketing ROI. But those sub-categories can always be classified as either lower cost or increased sales. >>> Your insight is very interesting. I cannot tell exactly my total cost because I'm missing some parameters (maintenance, working on additionnal features, some potential future hires, etc). Best thing to do is guess. If you hire 2 additional engineers and a marketing specialist, you could forecast an additional $325k in labor every year. Add in your salary, so arbitrary number, lets say you have $450K in labor each year, tack on space rent server costs and other costs at a guesstimate. This'll tell you the minimum costs you are going to have in a year, divide that by a price, and that tells you how many customers you'll need to break even. Or you can divide costs by an expected number of customers and get your price.
