Why I killed "Credits" and went Unlimited (Building in Public from Dhaka 🇧🇩)

I’ve been building RoastMyLanding (https://roastmylanding.vercel.app) to help founders find the "Trust Leaks" that kill conversions.

I noticed a painful trend: users were "hoarding" credits. They were too scared to roast a work-in-progress because they didn't want to "waste" a use. That’s the opposite of how we actually build. We iterate, we tweak, we ship.

The Pivot Data:
I just nuked the credit system and moved to $19 Unlimited. The results?

Customer #1 (Will): Jumped on the unlimited plan immediately.

Customer #2 (Ryan): A repeat user from April who upgraded specifically because he wanted to iterate without "Credit Anxiety."

All-time Revenue: $48.

Pay it Forward:
I’m here in Dhaka all afternoon. If you’re stuck on a headline or feel like your page isn't "converting," drop your URL below. I’ll run a manual logic check and give you a brutal, honest breakdown of your 3 biggest Trust Leaks.

Specific Feedback Requested:
Does the "Unlimited" value proposition make you more likely to use a tool during the early draft stage, or do you prefer "pay-per-use" for smaller projects?

    Killing credits was the right move.

    Credit pricing works when usage feels finite.
    Your product works when usage feels iterative.

    That means credits were charging users for uncertainty.

    And that is the worst possible place to add friction, because the exact moment someone needs RoastMyLanding is when they are still unsure, embarrassed, and half-finished.

    If they have to decide whether this draft is “worth” spending a credit on, they delay the exact behavior the product needs to encourage.

    Unlimited fixes that.

    It makes the tool feel like a scratchpad, not a meter.
    That is the right behavior for early-stage positioning work.

    The stronger version of this is probably not “landing page roast.”
    It is “conversion confidence.”

    People are not paying to get roasted.
    They are paying to stop second-guessing what is costing them signups.

    That framing likely grows better than RoastMyLanding does.

    Beryxa.com would age better if this becomes the product, not just the hook.
