Second this ! Printful seems to be the way to go these days — they handle everything for you

Tweet Hunter uses a 7-day free trial + 30 money back guarantee. 7-14 days is more than fair.

Do you expect to have a free tier at some point? For your type of product I'd probably envision wanting for users to use the tool and see the long term benefits of it; so I would want them to try it for as long as they need, to hopefully convert them at some point. I'd obviously limit the features for the free plan (e.g. No AI responses, 5 latest engagements are visible, 3 updates per week)

For example, WIP uses a max of 3 projects on the free plan. Once you get going, you pay if you want to use more than 3.

Hey Alejandro thanks for your feedback. As it is a pre launch subscription we didn't think about a free plan for now, but will consider it in the future 😄

welcome !! Got inspired by Pieter Levels as well -- that's how I learned about WIP. Looking forward to see what you build!

Are you targeting specific eCommerce brands? (e.g. clothing, cosmetics, toys, etc)

Thanks @alvivanco, my focus will initially be on building a basic generic version MVP and then I would see which industry customers would have most interest from my current network.

Ok cool! Can’t wait to see it 💪

@levelsio (and probably many others) likes to have 4-5 random prices set on his pages (only 1 price shows up at random every time an user clicks for "pro"). Then, he chooses whatever is the most popular.

Thanks @alvivanco , I had not considered that option actually. Will keep it in mind 😉

The apps I have seen that do this would do a 7-14 day trial with the features from the paid version, and after the trial is done, users are automatically converted to the free plan.

I would have all users be onboarded on this Full featured free trial (even if they sign up to the free version only) -- that way, you get the chance to get them used to the paid features, and hopefully convert a good portion of them.

Thanks for your answer!

I decided to remove the free tier, reasons:

  • The free tier has nearly all the features, users can test correctly the app
  • The paid plans are an open door to abuse the system and use lots of resources

Yes, I second this. However, please, for the love of god, don’t enable trial plans automatically for users — make enabling it manual. Sometimes I wanted to create an account, learn the dashboard, a tool, etc, and then start using the trial plan to the fullest when I’m ready. It’s a hassle to DM devs to ask them to extend a trial plan or remove my account, so I can start over.

I do not know any stats, maybe enabling trial plan right away is a good solution for better engagement, but it’s not good UX in my humble opinion.

looks decent! I would add a filter to be able to sort by date. And also perhaps tags for the type of role (engineering, design, product, etc)

Thanks! Good idea. Most people hated the design lol

i tried 2 different browsers; about half of your pics are not loading for me. Not sure why

Damn, strange. I’ll contact Marc about the issue.

Looks like you're hotlinking to some images hosted on googleusercontent.com that don't load for us. Possibly, because they hosted behind a login?

Did you copy/paste them from Google Docs or Gmail or something like that? It didn't actually copy/paste the image, but just the URL. Which we cannot access.

If you download the image to your computer first and then add them to your post, they should upload to our servers where they are visible to everyone.
