I'm getting some comments about Woolly using recurring subscriptions.
Putting the right value on these apps is always a challenge.
I understand that subscriptions suck big time, but so it's having to maintain an app forever on top of a single purchase of a couple of dollars.

Let's try and see how much you folks would be willing to spend on an little Mastodon app like Woolly.

(I probably already know the answers and should get a real job soon)

~5$ Annual sub
69.4%
25$ one time purchase
24.2%
Nothing at all
6.4%

@mttvll now is _the_ time to set your pricing as close to final as possible. Future you and your actual users will thank you for it. I wouldn’t include a lifetime option either. I’d consider a more approachable starting price point — such as $5 — and something more premium for the full experience. It complicates the offering, but if the feature differentiation is clear, then it could be okay.

@bardi I thought about this, but I don't think at the moment I could find a differentiation that make sense.

@mttvll ideally you present all options at once, but if you really can’t, then it’s okay too as long as what it is less of an essential feature and something that elevates the experience (and/or costs you money). For example, we have some cool OpenAI stuff in the works that we’ll probably reserve for the premium tier because it meets both criteria.
