There are a lot of moving parts to your reality and my question. If you are flying solo, already banked $10m from this thing, you can sell it for $10 and never go hungry and your kids (if you got don't know/I'm not asking) will also be set for life.

As a user (again, I may be a cheap bastard) I love a "pay once - have forever". I assume your SaaS is not for commercial/business use, you mention "price sensitive hobby market". If you price the 'runs offline' at $10, good luck to your competition to beat you.

Also, if your market penetration is steady and linear at 0.5% per month, and you are just on the first 5%, then that's a different timeline/decision process.

There are so many thoughts I got for this (as an 'internal/me mental exercise'). I hope it all plays out well for you, and you decide what's best for you and your business :)

Thank you for responding and giving me that POV.

The app has made 1.4 million dollars over 5 years. So a solid salary. Nothing near financial escape velocity, but I’m grateful for the freedom.
