[POLL] I've got 99 start-up names, but I can't pick one ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Hey hackers,

I'm in the process of renaming my SaaS, and it's HARD. The previous name, exportator.com, didn't convey the values I wanted it to. Also it's mispronounced by most, and overall, quite unremarkable.

Since I'm about to release a brand-new v2, I'd like to take this occasion to rebrand. The software is basically helping Stripe users increase their global sales by deploying multi-currency super easily. Some values the name could focus on:

  • Adapting prices massively helps reaching new customers on the international market
  • Offering currencies show consideration towards markets that are usually treated as second-class markets (emerging markets for instance)
  • Localization (of price) prevents local competitors from taking your market shares

Here's a list of names I've gathered over the week-end, but I have 2 issues: A. I didn't feel love at first sight for any of them. B. I'm not a native speaker, so I'm not sure of how some of those can be perceived.

Any help towards helping me find a good (enough) name will be more than appreciated!

Help...?

    I can't help but to quote Nike here: Just do it. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

      You are right and left me with no choice but doing it. Thanks!

    Don't sweat on a name too much!

    But I like Pricery.io and Pricemat.io :)

      It's the #1 thing blocking me right now, so indeed, I shouldn't waste too much time on it. If I can save me another rebranding later on, that'd be nice, though.
      Thanks a lot for your input!!

        @julesmaregiano I agree with @yxngdano! Pricery.io is a really good name imo.
        First misspelling is unlikely, second its short and has a good flow and last but not least it sounds modern and unique :)

          Man, thanks for building my confidence on the name. I went with it!!

          1. 1

            Awesome! You are welcome :)

    UPDATE: I followed your advices and just did it: pricery.io

    Thanks a lot for the feedback and pushing me to ship. It helped a lot.

    I second pricery.io. It just sounds nice.

    1. 2

      Cheers mate. I went with pricery!!

  5. 1

    I would suggest to go with pricemate

    1. 1

      It was my second choice but since there's already a pricemate.info website, I decided to take no risks and just go with pricery. But thanks for your input!

  6. 1

    I think pricemate.io works for me, or pricemaster if you can get a good domain.

    1. 1

      pricemate is definitely a cool name. And the .io is available. But, as I mentioned to Pradheep, there was another project with that name already, and even though it doesn't look in good shape, I decided to go with pricery.io.

      1. 1

        Nice, pricery is pretty decent anyway, just reminds me a bit of the ronery song from Team America ๐Ÿ˜› Maybe you can make a theme tune for pricery? "Pricery, f-ck yeah! Gonna change your mother f-cking currencies"

  7. 1

    This is a cool business. Well done! Naming has always been hard for me, so I try to stick with names that are easy to say and spell. Out of these, my favorite is pricery.io.

    It doesnโ€™t necessarily convey that this is a currency converter, but it rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

      Thanks for your feedback, PHPWarrior. I followed your advice and went with it. See you in 5y when I IPO, you'll be able to say "I found the name" ;p

      1. 1

        Haha! Awesome!! Getting the name nailed down always gives me a bunch of focus and excitement. Go get it! ๐Ÿ†
