$0.99 seems like the the reasonable price point

You can’t provide quality service at that price.

You will need 140 customers just to make back the developer fee for this year. Next year, you still have the fee to pay but those people aren’t paying you money. And of course Apple will change its platforms and you will need to change your code, update your store presence, read emails, parse documentation, etc.

Or just pull the app after a year because you are not making enough money to care.

And that will harm the people who actually care about your app. People who care are the customers you want and price is the way to find those people. People who care about what you make want you to stay in business.

My advice is to figure out the price that pays enough to make your future self care about your customers. Enough to respond pleasantly to obnoxious emails. Enough that you can go above and beyond the minimum. Enough that the work feels worth doing.

For me $100 is a good minimum price. It’s nothing to anyone serious and you want serious customers. Good luck.
