There's petty little information here. What exactly does this do that Stripe subscriptions does not? Also unrelatedly, would anyone recommend using This/Chargebee/Recurly when Stripe already has subscriptions built in?
Hey Sam,
Thanks for your feedback I was thinking a lot of people that don't want the hassle of setting up stripe subscriptions, thus these services normally make it easier?
Spelling Mistakes:
I'm so surprised that people read those little text blurbs. Personally, I never do, but you're 100% right, I'll fix that up asap!
Lack of detail:
You must have a very good eye for detail to notice the scroll thing! But thank you, It'll add a lot more detail into the website to explain each part!
Stripe Integration:
For now I was thinking of using stripe as a base since I don't want to be in-charge of security for credit cards.
Annual or One-time:
The site is currently set up for a one time payment to use the software just because it's a bit buggy and unstable.
I was thinking about targeting small businesses, or something along those lines, that wouldn't might paying more for less hassle.
But the main goal is that I want to get something up and running so I understand the whole process of launching a web app. at the end of the day, I'm hoping to get 1 or 2 customers.
PS, You're pricingbot.co website looks so amazing!
Two reasons. First and foremost, $4.99 lifetime is it enough to support a customer forever. You have servers to maintain, a customer support team to pay, and also you have to put food on the table. I’m pretty against “lifetime” and “unlimited lol pricing for hosted software.
Second, pricing is a signal. By pricing extremely low you’re going to attract people who care about getting the lowest price possible and from personal lived experience these are basically the worst, most demanding customers.
I was thinking that I would start with $5 for a lifetime while I see if anyone would be interested in the idea, then maybe expanding to $5 a month.
But Yeah, I could see that, you would attract customers that would keep demanding more and more unless they will leave. That could have been a bit of a mistake.
So I'll up it to $15 per month, Thank you for your help Pete :)
