How'd you come to the pricing model? To me only having 24 hours before losing data would probably preclude me from putting effort into trying it out. Have you thought at all about a freemium model?
I gotpartway through building a travel planning app a few years ago, and I had thought the best way could be to allow 3 trips to be planned, then your trial ends unless you subscribe. Or you could severely limit the functionality in a perpetually free version while the paid version has all the bells and whistles.
All the best for when travel is common again as I really like this idea and think there’s untapped potential.
Yeah, the issue I see with something like that is that realistically, someone could easily take several years to take 3 trips.. seems a bit tricky to convert free customers to paying customers.
Pretty much by waving my finger in the air :) I originally started with something subscription based, but it felt a bit inflexible. For example, if I offered 6mo subscriptions, people probably wouldn't purchase a subscription if they were planning a trip to take in the next month, because you're "wasting" 5mo.
Now, it could be that my prices are too high, but that was sort of my rationale--I thought it would be better to let people pay for what they need.
I think a freemium model could work, but at this point I don't think I have any real features that would meaningfully distinguish the free version from the paid version. I did consider limiting like the number of days your trip can be for "free" users--I might revisit this in the future.
