Congrats, looks very promising. I find the pricing page confusing though. First, the "Startup" option is $99. $99 for what? A month? A year? The unit of time is missing. Second, the "Set up a call" button is a turn-off. I don't want to call anyone. I want to simply sign up for the service to try it out, as frictionless as possible. Having to CALL someone in 2022 is exactly the opposite of that.

Hey! I fixed the pricing (added the per month) and added a button to the landing page to "Try it now".

Thank you for your very focused and tactical feedback. Easy to change!

For Authz solutions targeted at HN audience it is way overpriced.

Hey, its Rob from Rownd.

Agree, it is over-priced for simple use-cases. What would be an appropriate price for the hacker news audience? It is far easier for us to lower prices and raise them.

Let me know and I'll change it!

Apologies for the confusion. The pricing is monthly, but we're lowering it to $49/mo for anyone coming from Hacker News.

I'm a huge fan of self-service as well. Picking up the phone to call someone is like...the last thing I want to do. So 1990s! :-D

We're hard at work making Rownd much more self-service. We'd love to hear more feedback once the process there is a bit smoother!

Well, it seems to me that you're missing out on a potential huge number of signups RIGHT NOW because of this friction. You're in the spotlight, with thousands of guys looking at your offering right now.... and you want them to CALL you? Seriously?

Thank you for your feedback and sorry about that.

Try this: https://rownd.io/hacker-news . We'll add a button to the main site!

We are in the transition from "do things that don't scale" to "scale and grow".
