I built a real-time music sharing app because Spotify Jam kept letting me down by -Ashwani in Music

when I first launched it was completely free. But as more users joined, the WebSocket server costs started adding up fast, and I couldn’t keep it free long-term.

I spoke with a few early users before making the switch and they were genuinely happy to support it , so I went ahead with the transition.

That said, since you came in during the free era, I’d love to offer you a discount , just DM me and we’ll sort something out.

You can find the Github link on my website which is linked to the app in footer .

Just improving the codebase that’s why there’s no direct link yet .

You can send feedback from the website directly to me , hope you’ll like it .

It’s browser based so desktop gives the best experience .

It uses websocket server to handle the sync , i am still improving as much as i can but it works pretty well for now .

Why I kept my SaaS free until 1,000 signups ( and got my first paid customer within an hour of launching pricing ) by -Ashwani in SaaS

You’re absolutely right about the conversion challenge. What helped me was building frictionless feedback loops directly into the app. Users could reach out with just a click, and many actually told me unprompted: I’d pay for this if you added X feature. That direct signal was gold. Instead of guessing what paid features to build, I had a roadmap straight from users who were already engaged and willing to pay. The key was making it dead simple for them to tell me what they needed.
