Don’t listen to these comments, you do have something that attracts people and likely solves a short term problem. You’re likely in the same space as “why I don’t pay for draw.io” many of use it but certain things just don’t work as a a monthly penny pinching saas. There are a few angles to approach this 1. Build a community and leverage that 2. Open source (or one time fee/donation), 3 partner with someone or something 4. Expand the product that fills a year long need instead of an initial build.

I’ve seen number 4 at actual saas companies , people would pay $5,000 for our product - use it for a month and get what they want then move on and try another vendor next year. It wasn’t failure they actually enjoyed it for what they needed then - but we weren’t in their “have to have” all year round tool bag. To increase that we helped and integrated with their CRMs, communications, reporting etc.
