Would you call it "validated"?

Hello!

Recently i launched app on ProductHunt (https://handlespot.pro).

About app: Receive notification when your desired Twitter(X) @ handle is available.

About stats:
Got +45 registered users, 100 page views, +70 PH upvotes.
From all registered users i successfully got feedback from 11 of them.
Question was if they would pay small fee for some feartures on the app.

Results: 2 yes, 9 no.

Discussion questions:
Would you call it "validated"?
What would be next step? Build app features and integrate payments or keep getting more feedback?

Thanks in advance!

    It's only validated when they actually pay, not promise. Try introducing a paid plan and don't be afraid to lose those who don't want to pay - they might pay even if they answered "no" before. If there is value - they pay, otherwise it's doesn't make sense you are building a business.
