I can find no mention of pricing, other than that it’s free forever.

When you say you’re doing a “first marketing offensive”, it would suggest you’ll be spending time/money on it, and I expect you expect to see some ROI.

I’d be hesitant to invest my time in any service without having a clear understanding of what it’s going to cost me.

Hello there,

so when you start at first you do not even need to register for anything. I want people to be able to jump in with minimal effort. After 3 days (or earlier of your own choosing) you will be asked to register an account.

The app will be free forever if you have less than 6 active tasks at all time. If you get over that threshold you have the option to enable advertisments (one banner at the bottom) for unlimited access or stay for free and live with the 6 task limit.

I am planning to give users the option to just buy the product for some euros instead of using advertisements. But that will come at a later point when I get around to it.

So basically at the moment, it is my own implementation of the fremium model prevailent in many mobile apps :)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this model (and kudos to you for providing a couple different options), but it's definitely worth outlining what the future payment methods will (most likely) look like since people like the comment you're responding to may be put off by the complete lack of information on cost, especially when the app is something like to-do lists where people want to just find a good one and stick to it for a long time.

Hmmm you might be right. I tought free would attract more people then laying out the option, but being completely transparent might evaluate to more here. I have to think about that. Thanks for the input :)

I would probably only use this product if I could pay for it.

I don't want to invest in a system that will disappear because it isn't paying a thoughtful UX designer's rent. Most ads are poorly-targeted distractions, even those by Amazon. That is the last thing I want in a tool that I'm trying to use to help my brain tame the chaos of my tasks and obligations. Unless I had some way of knowing that the ads would be high-quality ones with really effective targeting based on either the content of my todo-list or a box where you let me complain about my problems

[ArdentZeal]

that is fine. If you happen to be on iOS there is an abonement already available which basically is the "I like what you are doing and would love to support more"-option for now. If you are more interested in a one-time payment, there is no option for that yet, but I would like to have one in the near(er) future.

Cheers
