Pricing is HARD. I launched a SaaS in 2016 with a 100eur per month recurring plan. only 5 signups in two years. Then around 2018 someone wrote me "that's incredibly cheap. why?" So, I doubled it to 200eur per month. Today there are 60 recurring plans at 200 per month, and only 3 @100(grandfathered plans from the early days.)

Clients tend to think that if something seems too cheap, something is wrong with it.

Did anything else besides the price change since 2018?

Also, at the end of 2018, based on their feedback, I added a "pricing" & comparison page: https://geocode.xyz/pricing

The product kept evolving too. (Updates, new features, etc) I think people started to value it more once the price doubled. Most new features were in response to their feedback.
