If current prices are tied to time, consider value based pricing. Look into Jonathan Stark's content around it and try to structure you work around it.
A good read is also Developer Hegemony.
Your value proposition needs to become the outcomes of software, not the software itself.
I've only been doing project/value based pricing till now. But recently, I've been thinking about opening a cheaper freelance thing for makers cause most won't be able to afford 10k/month. But unsure about what range makers are comfortable with.
Like @nikspyratos said, you should read Stark’s stuff. What a maker wants to pay you depends on the value you bring.
I have a page getting hella traffic with good conversions but 50% of users get an error and can’t buy? I’ll pay you a bunch to fix that for me.
I have a product with zero users and low interest? Giving you even 10 bucks feels like a lot.
To give a more concrete example: I have a bunch of problems on my blog that I’d really love to fix but it isn’t worth my time. Would love to pay someone to do it for me, but there isn’t nearly enough work to even begin talking about a /month price.
