First $100 from 40 subscribers

After 8 months of working on Stashcook, I have released its first Premium version. Stashcook Premium offers users the ability to link their accounts with their family members to automatically sync recipes, meal plans and shopping lists.

After a soft launch of the Premium offering, the app has totalled $100 in monthly subscriptions across 40 subscribers. I opted for a Pay What You Want payment model in the early days in order to attract users to the Premium features. The modal has 3 options (£0.99 / £2.99 / £5.99 a month). The majority have opted for the lowest tier but the average payment is approx. $2.50.

I'm unsure of the long term viability of this payment model but I didn't want to exclude anyone from the Premium features while I try to work out the business/payment model that will allow Stashcook to become my full-time job.

The feedback on the product has been extremely positive and I'm excited to see what happens in the coming week as I start marketing the Premium version.

I'm always keen to hear feedback. If you try the app, let me know what you think.

        Hey Royston,

        Some nice to have that my help improve the usability and some features that would be nice.

        1- The ability to adjust the serving is such a neat feature. I notice that when I adjust the serving (i.e. 6 to 2) and then tab to the "methods" tab and then come back to the "ingredients" tab, I lose my set serving. It would be nice if the serving size stays to what I've selected.

        2-On the Methods tab, it would be nice to bold the ingredients to make them stick out, which could make it easy for the user to scan through the instruction.

        3-Is there anyway the user can dismiss the toaster link at the bottom if they are not trying to add a recipe into the app? Just a thought.

        Overall, great app!

        Will do! My boyfriend and I started using your app during the pandemic. Your family plan is a game changer.
