I don’t get this point, but I 100% agree that a tool turning JSON into graphical views asking for a subscription is a blatant grift. You should be selling one-time payment perpetual licenses IMO.
You’re competing in a very crowded market of generally free tools. Unless your offering is VERY good you’re going to struggle selling at all… $5-10 maybe? That’s about as much as I’d be willing to pay for a hyper-specific tool like this if it makes one of my tasks at hand a little easier.
I understand your point, but I believe that a one-time payment is not conducive to its ongoing development. Think about it, if you charge all the money at once, where does the motivation to continue updating come from after a year or two? But indeed, there is an issue with pricing. You mentioned the $5-$10 price range for a perpetual license, right? If it were a subscription model, how much would you be willing to pay per month?
You mean offering it for free to everyone, but driving traffic to social media? Also, can I ask, from a consumer's perspective, what pricing do you think would be acceptable for my product?
