The idea is that the damage done by addictive social media apps is far greater than $20/month. And people already buy dumbed down smartphones based on Android that don’t allow most apps.
"Far greater" - then price it that way. Good luck getting anyone to pay $50/month though, or whatever you think it's worth for a few lines of Swift that Claude could make.
You're frankly asking a lot making it $2.99, but I'll let your customers speak to that more than myself.
