I love this advice a client gave me once talking about Sponsy pricing.
One thing I wanna stick to for sure tho: value provided to user > price paid.
Who's got more useful tips to share?👇
We're going through this same process right now with Collab Spot — we had a soft launch yesterday and got some feedback to make the free tier of our platform more expansive. It is somewhat freeing to know that no matter what we pick, it's probably not the best option, but we want the platform to have utility for free users while also having powerful features available for those users who pay to support the platform.
hey @collabspot I had a quick look at your landing page. If that's your strategy here's some totally personal feedback:
Hey there! Thanks so much for the feedback, I think these are great suggestions. We are in the process of expanding our free tier to be more flexible, once this is done (should be this week) we will update our website to emphasize the free tier. We're going to re-structure our pricing so that small teams and individuals can try the platform out for free. We'll keep working on it! Good luck to your with your startup as well.
I wrote a whole article on this lol if u want i can share
go ahead @orliesaurus, would love to check it out
long read but here it is - maybe skim the parts that don't apply: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/the-most-important-thing-to-remember-when-building-a-pricing-page-eaa2eb9a81
That's cool thanks for sharing!
I will research more about the "value unlocked metric" and go back to your article when creating pricing tiers 🫶
Another tip: think with your customer's pocket in mind.
It may sound too harsh but here's the story. I spent years building a platform for volleyball work announcements called ClubUp. We founded the company, got investments, and everyone we talked to thought it was a good idea.
We were not able to make the business profitable. We made a total of $50 but we spent thousands.
The product is great and people love it. What's the issue then?
Volleyball players and teams don't have the availability to pay for it and, if they would have, is totally not in their mindset.
Next time remember: if you're doing something for pure fun or to make good, go for it! If you're trying to create a business, make sure the market is willing to pay for your product.
