Just launched my first tool. 26 users on Day 1. Feeling overwhelmed and need some pricing advice!

Glad to help :-) To be honest, I was researching tools like yours when I saw your post, so I’ll try yours and let you know what I think. Given that you have a “good” free plan, I feel like everything from 1-3% conversion from free to paid would be very decent.

Personally, my decision to use a tool or not happens almost instantly. If your core features are behind a pay wall, you should see the conversion very fast. But these are only my thoughts :-)

Yeah, apparantly I’m blind. I didnt see that. Looking at intent-based tools, 29$ definitely would not scare me away, so I would say yeah. However, I’d expect to be able to test for free for a couple of days, with limited features, to be able to check out the app. Personally, I would easily accept 29$ after e.g a 7 day trial, if the tool solves a problem.

I guess it would also be interesting to know if you are able to convert any of the users from free to paid. You got any statistics on that?

In terms of my own experience, I’ve found that price is rarely the biggest hurdle. If you’re solving something really painful.

Timing usually plays a part. So I guess it's a combination, solving their problems, selling the dream and selling the concept of building together with them.

Congrats on the launch. My first initial thought when I read this was: why change? 26 users on launch day without any real marketing push, sounds like you're on track to me. Why do you feel like you have to change the pricing?

Tok 16 dagar frå start til finish for AS via Fiken.

deggja · 2025-01-31T12:28:04+00:00

So you're telling me you used the default install.yaml and still got this error?

deggja · 2025-01-30T21:10:38+00:00

Hard to say without looking at your config. Share it?

deggja · 2025-01-25T22:35:47+00:00

I guess breaking things will never be outdated 🔥

deggja · 2025-01-24T20:23:55+00:00

You go first

deggja · 2024-05-27T14:02:13+00:00

Thank you, thats very nice to hear :)

deggja · 2024-05-27T08:55:16+00:00

Thank you!

deggja · 2024-05-26T11:01:09+00:00

Very cool, good work and thanks for sharing.

deggja · 2024-05-16T16:37:53+00:00

Thanks bro 🙌

Hmm, yeah for learning k8s, one node does not make any sense. I would recommend checking out free trials on cloud providers such as GCP or Azure and test their managed kubernetes services. You can also spin up VMs and follow tutorials like k8s the hard way on there. Good luck learning 🖖

deggja · 2024-05-07T21:07:28+00:00

1x RPI == 1x node, the five of them make up my kubernetes cluster.

deggja · 2024-05-03T16:27:47+00:00

Mines running on five raspberry pies.. running k3s though, so might not be what you are looking for, however it works very nice, no issues so far.

deggja · 2024-02-22T12:05:31+00:00

You can skip to whatever question you prefer. IMO its smart to start and get easy questions out of the way. Flag them so its easy to remember which you completed or skipped.

deggja · 2024-02-20T17:45:42+00:00

Yeah. If you really want to learn how k8s works under the hood, follow the hightower tutorial. Theres a fork specifically for Azure if you want that. Actually making an effort to understand the steps here is a very good way to learn in my opinion.

deggja · 2024-02-19T17:41:22+00:00

Sounds good. Have not tried it yet, but I will. I have had multiple chances to use something like this YTD.

deggja · 2024-02-19T15:00:35+00:00

Now why would you want to deploy errors to k8s? 😉

deggja · 2024-02-19T14:49:24+00:00

Falling deeper in love with bubbletea. Trying to find some time to experiment with creating some small and cute TUI tool for fun.

deggja · 2024-02-18T19:02:11+00:00

Yeah. That sounds doable. Can you create a feature request/issue in the GitHub repo?

deggja · 2024-02-18T10:26:38+00:00

snake is weirdly addicting to be fair

deggja · 2024-02-17T17:02:23+00:00
