Advice for SaaS founders

  • Always give a way to try your product before purchasing . Free plan, trial period , etc.
  • Pricing: Start high and then go low (if needed).
  • Add all the payment methods you can. The more the better (not only stripe or PayPal). An example could be accepting bank transfers. Is not big deal having a bank account in the EU or the US.
  • Never restrict too much the free plan (if you have one), users need to play around your product with all the features included. If you want to push users to subscribe , try to restrict other stuff ( like amount of users per account , quotas of X , etc.)

    what pricing would you have for a service like the one I am offering
    https://kingmailer.co

    1. 1

      My guess is to offer unlimited emails and then play around the pricing model, I will start low like 6.99 and then going up based on features like advanced email routing, etc)

        So in this case start low, not high as you suggest in your topic

        1. 1

          In your case I guess you need to start low. My business is different because users doesn’t have in his minds how much cost a text to speech service, but email services are easy to guess.

            I understand.

            My price was much lower but many IH here said that the pricing needed to be higher

            $6.99 sounds good, with some configurations ...

            There are services that are charging $70 per month and they have a lot of customers ...

    These are some nice suggestions. As I am building Designtack, I think I should take your mentioned points into consideration.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    I'm going to provide a suggestion (knowing that it isn't easy): If you could link to a blog post that expands on this subject I'd get even more value which would would increase my chances of using your product if I was in the market (I do like your landing page).
