Got 1.3k Upvotes on Reddit and 8k unique visitors for the last 16 hours. How would you monetize it?
https://www.rentvsbuy.app
Hi guys, I've recently redesigned one of my side projects called RentVsBuy.app that helps people to decide shall you Buy a house or Rent and Invest and totally blew up the /financialindependence subreddit. So far I've got 1.1k Upvotes and 6k unique visitors for the last 12 hours.
How would you monetize the service like that? I hate ads monetization model and lean towards some Pro version with additional features available (like printing pdf, unlock some parameters and etc). Would you also suggest to go for Mac/Win version of the app like that for one-time price and leverage existed marketplaces like AppStore and etc.? What do you reckon?
Feature request:
Add an option for other currencies.
Freemium is the way to go. Is it suitable for an app? Not, really. It's not something people do on a regular basis, neither it has features that couldn't be implemented in a website / webapp.
I wouldn't see the value in creating mac/win versions of this - feels like something best suited to a web app. (who would search the app stores for something like this?)
As for monetisation - I can't think of a clear way just yet. the "pro" model seems appropriate - perhaps with ads for those who want to use it for free (maybe don't use an ad network so they don't get blocked by adblockers).

It's very helpful, I think I could have a printable version of the calculation results as a nicely formatted PDF as a lead magnet. Thanks for the suggestion!
