I must admit that I didn't hesitate only because of the price point. You'll need to be more convincing when you raise your pricing.

Actually, the 5th! 😝 Thanks for trying us out! The reason the price is so affordable right now is so people can try it with minimal risk and I can start collecting feedback and reviews for the site. Looking forward to your feedback!

Wow this is actually incredibly useful, I'm definitely going to use it. The price might actually be too low, depending on how useful the service is, and how good the senior designers are.
The landing page could definitely do with better examples than just "make the font bigger". Show us a proper roasting that shows off the prowess of your designers in turning a basic/out-of-the-box Tailwind/Bootstrap design into something that actually stands out. A before/after, with the comments overlaid.
I'm a developer, not a designer, but I have had to design plenty of interfaces throughout my career, and I wouldn't mind spending a bigger chunk of cash for feedback on whatever I come up with, and even ideas/suggestions for improvements. This service would be a god-send for any developer who's having to design stuff themselves.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out. I'm glad that your're interest in using it. The reason I have priced it so affordably at the moment is to allow people to try it out with minimal risk and provide me with feedback on how it can be improved before I consider raising the price. My plan is to showcase before and after shots demonstrating how my suggestions have enhanced designs once I gather reviews over the next week to include them on the website. It would be awesome if you could give it a try and share your feedback.

I just check your product and looks cool!
It's a better option than contact a design agency.
Congrats, I hope you get more users!

After just 5 days of building, I'm proud to announce the launch of Roasti.co.
Roasti is a platform that offers constructive criticism and feedback on design files and websites, providing senior-level support to enhance design quality and achieve pixel perfection.
Let me share the backstory behind the creation of Roasti. About four months ago, I came across Roastd when they launched on Product Hunt, and thought it was a clever concept. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I relaunched my design agency Designfly (Initially launched in 2018 inspired by Brett from DJ), and invited the IH community to roast my website, and received a ton of valuable feedback.
This led me to create a post on IH, asking others to drop their links so that I could critique their sites as well. The response was overwhelming with more than 100 submissions, which inspired me to create Roasti. With over 10 years of design experience, I wanted to provide senior-level design support without the high cost of hiring me directly. Roasti is a lightweight, streamlined version of Roastd, focused specifically on design critique and the small details that truly make a difference in high-quality design.
I would love for you guys to try out Roasti and provide feedback on the service or anything else you notice that can be improved. I have kept the price point affordable for most creators like yourselves, with a minimum order of $2.50. I want this to be a fun collaborative project, and I'm looking forward to roasting your designs and hearing your feedback. 🤙
