What does unlimited mean? This was all the rage a year or two ago and it just makes me think it’s shady bullshit. I can generate more specs than you can deliver in a month. I assume you also work on other peoples requests too. If you can’t deliver every single request I put in every month (and you can’t) then it’s not unlimited. This may only be my perspective as I know other people had success with this model but despite that I still don’t get it.

If you have 200 app ideas then I will set expectations. Will it take me a week to produce 200 designs? Nope. However, I'm definitely going to let you know what I can get done by communicating with you on a daily or weekly basis.

It's not 200 ideas. It's one idea that keeps evolving with feature creep.

Low-price & unlimited mostly attracts cheapskates. If you're lucky, you'll have one client who has self-control. You'll quickly encounter a really really bad client who'll force you to use a different biz model.

Will ponder this. Appreciate the response.

Ok, maybe don’t call it unlimited then

“Ok, maybe don’t call it unlimited then” Why? It is unlimited. When I go to Chili’s and get unlimited soup and salad, my supply is constrained by how fast they want to bring it to my table. Same thing here.

It's also contained by human biology. If you come to my house I could probably make you more chili than you can reasonably eat, as long as I say I'm not going to bring you any more chili until you finish what you already have, there's no possible way for you to ever overwhelm my chili supply.

Common Sense also comes in the play, in America it's not uncommon to see homeless people go to an all you can eat buffet and while they can pay for a meal, they'll try to camp out there and eventually a manager will escort them out.

I definitely don't like unlimited when it comes to anything though, that goes for data as well. For example if you get an unlimited T-Mobile plan and you're using 10 terabytes a month, you're going to either get throttled or kicked off the service.

I'd much prefer laws to be in place which would force T-Mobile to advertise 500 gigs a month or whatever the actual allotment is. Likewise charging someone $1,500 for unlimited revisions is almost soft fraud because it's absolutely impossible for that to scale. Once you get more than three or four clients you would end up telling them actually I can only do four revisions a month.

As I said in my other comment here I'd much prefer to just pay his or her hourly rate.

I think we need to get to the real important topic unearthed here... Your chili making skills. You had me at “there’s no possible way for you to overwhelm my chili supply”

Open to hearing ideas.

[open-source-ux]

A possible idea: one price with a fixed number of revisions. For additional revisions, you offer an add-on option i.e. the client can purchase additional revisions for a fee you set.

As other posters have said, offering unlimited designs might give some customers unreasonable or demanding expectations. Will an 'unlimited' option swamp you with revision requests?

Another suggestion: make your work a more prominent showcase on your website. Potential customers what to see examples of your app designs and user stories. Your current designs don't have any context - they are simply mockups (good-looking mockups) with no description. Do they need more detail and context? A case study for example. Make it clear to customers what they can get from your service - show off you work in the best possible light to catch their interest. Good luck :-)

There are good suggestions from others. I just want to say sorry if I came across quite harsh. I respect that you’re doing this at all and wish you the best of luck.
