Thanks!

I’m still experimenting with pricing, and agree that per page pricing makes logical sense. Still, it’s harder for me to build a sustainable business on that model.

I will probably test a few per-page or single payment options soon, though.

My 2 cents ; let people buy packs of Scans. Say 100, 200, and 1000. Rarely people will have exact match with their work, so they are left with some pages "left over", which can nudge them back into using the product more often to "use up" what they paid for.

With this strategy you might be more successful in making a workflow out of it, and nudge people over to a monthly model. Just don't make the packs so small that they can be aligned with their normal workflows, eg. Transcribing a 40 page note book. I would advise to do some statistics to see how many pages people typically scan at the same-ish time.

Also: it is considered good practice to indicate that you are affiliated when promoting a product

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback and great suggestions. It's something I will try to implement in the coming days.

p.s. I tried to make my affiliation clear - I wrote "I’m the founder" in the original comment above :)

Sorry, I didn't catch the founder part. Got two small kids, so my attention falters a little

Why not do both? That way you can capture both types of customers. Even if you do subscription model people are gonna sign up for a month and then ditch it. Most people don’t need this service “constantly” so per page seems ideal for one type of customer and subscription for another who would need it for a long time, but you may want to put a hard limit on that too, as a summer interned high school student or college student could do a lot of damage for a law operation needing such a service :D

Thanks, I'm grateful for this useful feedback.

people don't want yet another monthly subscription so that's going to be a harder sell. even though the business advice is that monthly subscriptions are better for you, the business owner, you can't forget about your customer. who wants to setup a subscription for something they think they're only going to use once or twice? and then have to go through the bullshit of cancelling.

[wriggler]

True, in cases like OP a one-off purchase will be better. But I also have business customers with regular and ongoing document processing needs for whom a subscription does work.

I expect the answer may be a combination of the two.
