Filing a pct is not that expensive and buys you 18 months to decide if you want to file national patents. You can even file a pact yourself.
A few thoughts:
1. if you can’t afford to file a patent you probably can’t afford to litigate a possible infringer.
2. In the above case does having a patent help sales from the marketing point of view? If no, why bother with one. If yes, then you may want to just file a us patent.
