You are basically charging money for things that frameworks like Django already have built-in, and have already had built-in for decades. There are so many good free options for this sort of thing. If a company already pays developers, there's absolutely no way they won't just build things themselves.

All of your selling points are things that business people think are difficult but any developer worth their salt will tell you is no problem.

Edit: to add a bit more info here... think of it this way: I am a frontend developer. I can build a specific dashboard in about 2 months, using things I am already familiar with and will look great. Instead, I can use your product and reduce the amount of time it will take to 1 month, but lock us into paying a monthly subscription for the rest of time. How could I possibly convince somebody to buy that?

Well, if it costs $10,000 all-in to pay a developer for 1 month, and Creo costs $30/month, then it would take 27 years to break even on having a developer spend the extra month building it from scratch.

You didnt factor the cost/time it will still take a dev to familiarize with Creo and quite possibly the NextJS/React ecosystem.
