What do you think of our pre-launch pricing strategy?

Hello everyone. I would love some feedback on our pre-launch pricing. This is a tool that informs you of all “walk-ins” to your website so you can have a chat with them. It also gives you info like browsing history, previous visits etc, so that the chat can be more meaningful.

As a pre-launch offer, we are giving this out at $5 per month for life. It's free if you refer 3 others who would sign up for this. Appreciate all feedback :) Our pre-launch coming soon website is http://interr.io

    it's kind of hard to commit money to something sight-unseen... i mean, in this case, entirely.

    have you had conversions?

      Hey, much appreciate the response.

      Yes, so we have around 13 subscribes on Product hunt ship and 7 sign-ups from our website. Looking forward to going down the content marketing route to get more sign-ups. That's all we have at this point as we are at the pre-launch, development phase. Any suggestions would be welcome :)

        oh nice! we have about 9,500 folks on SHIP... we've been using it for a while and the results have been... meh.

        ph

        if you want more thoughts on this, lmk.

          I was sent 10 cold emails and none of them reply back. Feel a little bit disappointed. But after see your click rate i feel better now xD

          1. 1

            yup. it's a cruel, cruel world out there... but, that's okay.

        2. 1

          Haha, thank you much 8bit. That's a very useful bit of information. Definitely! Would love to have your thoughts on this:)

            honestly, i wouldn't use it. $79 a month at this stage... is a lot of money.

            the app hasn't been meaningfully-updated in a long time... i think it's generally abandoned.

            i actually just moved over a ton of subscribers to a different system... i'll most likely be leaving it in the coming months!

                product hunt ship, right? i think that's what they are charging per month?

                1. 2

                  Yup, understandable. Didn't realize its that bad. Glad to hear that from you :)

                  1. 1

                    of course. let me know if you need anything else!

    Hey Cal!

    8bit and DailyDevTips are right on this: it is hard to say if this product is worth 5$.

    But, for the sake of the argument, let's say it is. I personally wouldn't have a lifetime offer. I'd put it like monthly or something the like. 5$ per user might not be a great incentive for you to keep developing this, whereas 5$ a month per user could be.

    Cheers!

      Agreed. At this point, I'd rather spend $5 (even $150) on a Kickstarter project (sorry if that comes off as rude). Maybe crowdsource funding is an angle you can consider!

  3. 1

    Must agree with 8bit, Really hard to say if 5$ per month is a lot considering you have no view of what this is at all.
    Perhaps good to build your audience first through social media/mailers so they are hyped to use your product?

    1. 1

      i agree on this too. community before product ™️... :P

    2. 1

      Hey, thank you much. Will keep that in mind :)
