Nice! Congrats!

Pricing is pretty cheap imo, why don't you try doubling prices? You might double income just like that..



Cheap indeed it is, but I guess that matches the target audience. IPTV is relatively cheap, and the service my tool offers is really a bonus and not a must.

More importantly, I don't think I would pay more than I am currently charging my users, so I think it's just fair. Also, I prefer a whole lot of small payments than a couple of big ones, and for now that seems to be going in the right direction.


I have an app that also went for $1 for a bit. People who are willing to pay $1 also pay $2.

If this was my app, I'd simplify the pricing a lot. Get rid of the free tier. People who aren't willing to pay for your service should go somewhere else. Instead, give people a free trial for 30 days or whatever.

I'd make it so:

$2 = mixture of your current Amateur + Pro, maybe call it "Basic"

$5 = "Pro" with all features

Simple is good. You don't need 4 tiers if your target audience is kinda price sensitive. 2 is enough.


I would consider not trusting your intuition when it comes to pricing.


I think this is good advice, but then I also think the current pricing is fair for what it does. If it did a lot more, then it could be priced higher.

I mean compare to say Spotify. Up to six people in a household can listen in their cars and any phone and any computer to any music pretty much, in fantastic quality with lots of features, for what $15 a month. Now that is worth $15 a month, as it's delivering actual content. That is a lot more value than an (admittedly compelling) editor that I just use to edit some preferences essentially.
