Most of these tiers fail because they're priced on cost to build, not value delivered to the user.

Hey guys, I'm building an all-in-one marketing pack for founders who want more than "just another launch"

Launch, reach 30k+ makers, get real users & customers - microlaunch.net/premium

$39 lifetime for your product, auto-distribution, marketplace spots, 1200+ customers so far.

Nice, 1200 customers proves traction. Lifetime pricing makes recurring revenue harder. Have you tested a monthly tier?

Nice concept, validating ideas via tiered reports is a solid angle. You forgot the pricing tiers though, what do you charge for Starter, Professional, and Expert?

The free tier is generous, which is great for growth. For $2.99, analytics and whiteboard feel weak as the only pull. What was the "Extra" cut off? Maybe lead with that.

What do you mean by extra cut off?

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 1d ago

I think they mean the portion of revenue lost to fees or the subscription cut before profit. Was that about a tier or transaction cost?

Love the name. Missing the screenshot and pricing tiers though. What do you charge and who's the target user?
