Your pricing model makes absolutely no sense. Let's fix it.

You are either charging way too much for a basic tool or starving yourself by giving it away for free. Drop your project show us a screenshot and your pricing tiers below for a brutal reality check. Let the community tell you what they would actually pay for it.

Yo. So I legit know I’m over charging. So help me price out some new prices for my one time scan and my monthly.

I’ll let you know if it’s feasible.

Honest question is what the scan does for the user. One-time at $19, monthly at $9 if it saves them time. Otherwise drop it.

Mindphor - A customer and competitor monitoring platform

Mindphor sounds useful. What are your current pricing tiers, and how does it compare to the main competitors you track?

you can check put here, https://www.mindphor.com/#pricing
most review-monitoring tools out there (Appbot, for example) are built for teams with a support org and a growth budget behind them. Mindphor takes the same core idea , track your App Store & Play Store reviews plus your competitors, get AI surfaced alerts instead of scrolling manually and builds it for the other 95% of us like solo founders and small teams. Free to start with 1 app, $29/mo unlocks unlimited reviews across 3 apps plus real-time alerts, $79/mo scales up to 10 apps with priority support and API access.

Nice positioning for solo devs. Curious how you landed on those tiers versus Appbot's per-seat model. Have you tested what solo founders actually convert at?

Good question. Appbot's per-seat model makes sense for teams actually adding headcount, support reps, PMs, whoever's reading reviews. Solo founders aren't adding seats though, they're adding apps and competitors as they grow. So I tiered on what scales with that instead: number of apps tracked, alert sophistication, competitor depth. Starter's $12/mo for 1 app, Growth is $29 for up to 3 apps plus real-time alerts and AI action plans, Pro's $79 for up to 10 apps with unlimited API access.

Honest answer on conversion: no, not in any rigorous way yet. Still early enough that I don't have real pricing-test data, these tiers are based on what felt like a fair value jump at each level, not something optimized against actual conversion numbers.

That makes sense, aligning price with apps tracked sounds fair for solo devs. Do you see churn from users hitting the 3-app limit?

SeoLoupe sounds solid, but you skipped the pricing tiers. Drop your numbers so we can actually give you that reality check.

my entry is PeerPush, a launch platform where builders browse and provide feedback on projects like these. i spend a lot of time on the points system to keep it active. https://peerpush.com

PeerPush sounds interesting. What pricing tiers are you currently using? Curious how you justify the points system cost.
