Best way to monetize an app
We’ve built fishyreader.com - A chrome extension that improves the experience of reading financial documents like 10-K’s and 10-Q’s from public companies.
I’m trying to find a good way to monetize this service. I’ve got some ideas (add a price to the chrome plugin; move to web app with trial) but thought I’d put it out here to see if anyone has anything I haven’t thought of yet.

hey, this is some interesting stuff but the examples on your landing page don't explain it very well. I cannot see the simplification between the before and after documents. I think you can add more justifiable examples, rest is it's really amazing. where are you marketing it primarily?
Chrome extensions are notoriously hard to monetize as most are free and users are not used to pay to use an extension. Even if they are willing to pay it is usually a one time payment. What may probably work is to offer a limited feature extension as free and back it up with a full blown app for premium. That way the chrome extension functions like a lead generator too.
