I've never had the experience of pricing a product, but my intuition tells me this could be a win. We occasionally see articles on HN that describe how to increase prices without losing your audience.

Perhaps there are others here that can offer feedback and advice.

Research and experiment. If you do embark on this, a postmortem write-up with your learnings would be a great read.

Best of luck with whatever your plans are. It's a cool app!




Thank you! For the reference, until I released version 3.0.0 (last November) the price was $3.50 (and all of it went to charity). The number of sales didn't take a hit - but it coincided with some publicity and major improvements to the app.


Great App!

Just purchased 2 copies cause I am lazy building it from source & cause charity, why not!

Tested the demo about 1 hour ago and I was impressed. Very good UI and fast scanning, although on the icons are a bit on the small size for my taste but excellent otherwise.

Keep up the great job :)


Thank you! In the settings (scroll to the bottom) there is a "-" and "+" between "reset zoom" button. That will help you adjust icon size and text across the app. Great for a 4K TV.


How do you collect the money?


I use https://chec.io/ checkout process (a service) which uses PayPal or Stripe for processing payment (it allows more payment types but these are the only two I use).
