- we granfathered all users whenever we would change pricing or introduce new plans

- agreed on the point about moat

To be fair, we made a free version of a very basic app in a category in the App store that was stagnating due to lack of competition. example, someone was charging for number of clicks on the button.

We simply changed that and charged for something else instead, like premium button designs, or new features that no competitor offered but users were asking us for it.

Our app was free for about 1 month before we launched paid plans
