Better business model might be make some api, or layer that you control in all this...basically it becomes like a headless cms...could be as simple as centralized auth/data-hosting, then the other version for $400+ could be on-prem/self-hosted...

Then people might get 1 month trial, and then $19/month/app.

This way you start building up a lot of MRR, and can maybe add price points for # of average monthly users or something like Auth0 has.

This is a really solid idea. I'll have to think about this. It could pair well with ux-app's (sibling's) suggestion.

A suggestion: maybe you should do a document/video explaining what your app does for people like me, because while I was reading I got curious, but I don't really know what it does. After spending 18 months developing my SaaS science algo in Python (self-taught) I was like: ok, now it shouldn't be too hard to make this available in a website. I only knew very basic css,js(jq) and html, so I started to learn VueJS: it was so freaking hard I realized I wouldn't be able to do it in the timeframe I had so we have decided to launch our product with an animated wireframe instead. At that point I also knew there would be challenges in 2 other areas in which I wouldn't have the necessary time/expertise: cloud/server and security.
