Thanks for your feedback! The final price isn’t set in stone yet. My goal is to make Taim accessible and affordable for individuals. The current discount is a special offer for early supporters, and I’m still considering the best pricing structure to ensure everyone gets great value. I appreciate your thoughts and am always open to more feedback!

I'd encourage you to do a thorough competitor reseach, but anything over $100 will be a hard sell. It's not that $179 is unreasonable, it's that people aren't used to shelling out this sort of sum for software in one sitting.

Consider sweetening the deal by offering something like a $20 one-year license with an option of converting it to the perpetual after a year.

Tangentaly related, make sure your permanent licenses do not include permanent support and upgrades. Provide bugfixes for free, but if they buy a perm license, it should be good for whatever version they have now plus X months worth of future versions. After that impose a fee to extend this upgrade access for another X months. This is a 100% fair arrangement as you do need to be compensated for the work that goes into new versions.

Also, with early birds - again, speaking from experience, consider labeling what you have a "beta" and giving it away for free. Then, after few months, do a proper release and offer deeply discounted licenses to all beta users. This kills 3 birds with one stone - builds a loyal userbase, monetizes them and avoids having deep public discounts. Discounts, once you offer them, will be expected and you will lose sales if the only option will be a full-price one. And if you are to have a permanent sale, it will cheapen the perception of the product. So discounts should be used sparringly and in a very controlled manner.
