Following up on my comment from yesterday*
$14.99 for a year “feels” a lot better than $17.99. I like that a lot.
$29.99 for early adopters feels like a great motivator and should get you a nice chunk of raving fans and ambassadors!
I’ve been on the TestFlight for a bit and I’m a for-sure day one subscriber. I was an Apollo Ultra ifetime’r - Pro since 2017, and Ultra since 2019.
Although I know I’m going to get some shit for this, I think the pricing is a bit high for early adopters. To be clear, I’m going to do it anyway, but Lemmy is still unproven as the next big platform - there’s still Kbin, Tildes, Lobsters, and more. I think I recall Apollo lifetime was $24.99, a platform that had a hundred million users. I don’t know if I can sell my friends on $17.99 for a year, or $50 lifetime, just yet.
My thought would be to cut that for a month or two - early-bird the price to $1.99/mo, $12 for a year, or $29.99 lifetime. Build up a user base. Then once it’s got that install base, move to the prices advertised, as a proven app.
And just to prove this isn’t inspired by me being cheap, check my comment history, I’ve been trying to give /u/steve228uk money for awhile now! :)
Throwing in a vote for Bean. It’s the only one on my homescreen.
Bean is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait until there’s a way for me to give you money for this app.
Please keep adding icons! It’s so much fun to change it up over time!
I’m an almost 17 year Redditor, same username as here. I was in so early that I actually have emails that I sent to Alexis Ohannion and Steven Huffman asking questions about how their Postgres setup worked – and they both replied! But I’ve moved on. I haven’t used Reddit since June 30, 2023, the day Apollo died.
