@charliemchapman Yeah, that could be a good compromise. Or maybe something like the day- or week-passes offered by apps like Guardian? Certainly interesting.

I assume you have good data on typical usage patterns and mine is probably atypical. And that’s actually irrelevant as long as you have enough users with the right usage patterns to justify subscriptions at a sufficient price. More users is not better if it’s not adding to your financial sustainability.

@charliemchapman Actual pricing will be a huge factor. I Iike Dark Noise a lot, but only use it a few times a year for travel. My use case makes it an easy purchase but borderline for subscription (and I’m typically generous with subscriptions). Not sure if my usage is typical.

You should ultimately make the decision that is sustainable for your business and I would never complain about it or be angry. Just thought I would share my perspective in case it was useful.

@paul I say err on the side of high for two reasons:

1. Much easier to lower prices later than to raise them.

2. You’ll be better off with a smaller group of invested, loyal users than more users who don’t actually care that much about the product.

Of course, I’m totally unqualified to have an opinion on this. But comparing the pricing of Tweetbot to, say, Carrot Weather is instructive.
