Waitlistr

We'd been tossing around the idea of changing up the way our plans work from being only feature base to feature and usage base. The theory was, feature based plans without usage limits would fuel growth — and that it did. At a certain point growth without also pushing revenue hits a point where it cost more (service$$$) than is sustainable. The best way for us to monetize growth was to build usage into our plans. BOOM. We launched plan limits on May 8th; within a week and a half we doubled subscriptions and tripled subscriptions within 3 weeks.

Should we have made the change sooner? Maybe? We learned a lot about our users through growing while giving away the farm.

Around this date marks what I call our transition from a neglected prototype to taking something seriously.

It's kind of embarrassing to say how long I've been working on Waitlistr — yes, you can go to Archive.org and see a long history of a site that began as a dinner table conversation with my bro-in-law — really, Waitlistr is a story of luck, love, and a little neglect.
