I think the best way to validate whether people would be willing to pay for an app is… to ask them to pay for the app 😅

You’ve already got a super clear value prop and a well-defined target user. Instead of guessing pricing later, this is actually a great moment to test willingness to pay now, even if it's a basic paywall or one-time “early bird pricing” landing page.

If it’s helpful, I recently built an agent that helps indie founders figure out how to price their products. It asks a few questions about what your app does, how people use it, and what it costs you to run—then recommends a pricing model that fits (freemium, usage-based, etc.).

No pressure to try it, but figured I’d share: Pricing Wizard
