If it's really useful, I'd happily pay even more. Is real-time earnings really that important to a lot of companies though?

Right, if it is worth $19, it is worth $99.

There are no $19 business problems.

I see it more like a motivation for creators and a way to skip logging into dashboards.
Maybe menu bar apps are completely underrated.
I’m new to macOS app development, but I’ve always wanted to build one. Now, I’ll probably end up building many more :D
The only problem is figuring out how to market them effectively, and to convince the target market that they need it. I think putting a solid price tag on it (with a 2 week guarantee of money back if you are not happy, perhaps) is the way to go. I don't think this particular target market looks for the freemium model with ads etc.
