Not stoked on pricing on any of these. not gonna pay that If one pays say $15 / month for flexible hosting products, these kinds of services are comparatively overpriced. Does the realtime feedback matter? My experience is its better to wait for your stakeholders to complete their round of feedback to weed out redundancy. Realtime is just a distraction

There is a stand-out feature which is video, not all these services have that.

Cant wait for the self-hosted version of these to be created for a onetime price. makes way more sense to me.

If you think that $19 / month is over-priced, you are not in anybody's market.

If you think that the service is not as good as your current solutions, that is a different critique and discussion altogether.

I would actually advise to get rid of the $19/month option, because as all of the successful SaaS operators say it will result in the unhappiest customers and the lowest profit margin.

Yes all those Dropbox users with their free 2gb are constantly complaining and unhappy. They can't contain their rage.

Thats the debate between giving it for free and charging a small amount..

You do have a point there! We kept it to be a good starting point of low resistance.

We kept pricing irrespective of the number of users just due to that. Would love to hear your thoughts at rohit AT framebench DOT com though.

Thanks for checking out Video! We even have superior PDF support in comparison to all others. Zoom in. ;)

We want to maintain it for sometime till its stable enough to be available as a self hosted solution. Btw, how much would you pay for a self hosted version?

If it worked the way I wanted, I'd probably pay $70 for a self-hosted solution. If it were absolutely what I needed with upgrades included for 2-3 years, maybe I'd pay up to $150. And if certain feature updates were intriguing enough I might pay another amount to get 2.0 version and so forth.

I use pancakeapp, I love it. I bought it and then bought the upgrade a year later. The price is fair, the software is great, very useful.
