$288/yr is not that much for something that helps you make money
Whether it's a lot or not depends entirely on how much you're making. For someone who has a $500/year side project $288 is half your revenue. For someone who has a $50,000/year side project $288 is trivial. If you're marketing to people who haven't yet launched then most of your customers are in the first group - and that makes your product sound quite expensive.
If I had the need for your product I'd be much more likely to use it if the cost was something like $1/user/month, capped at $30/month.
