Show HN: Give your customers pricing clarity, especially the enterprise ones

Most companies start with simple pricing. But the moment you land real enterprise customers, everything fragments: every big customer negotiates different discounts, thresholds, exceptions etc. And the real problem isn’t even complexity — it’s inconsistency. Once the numbers stop matching, trust drops, usage lags, renewals stall, and expansion stops before it starts.Big players like Azure, AWS...

Show HN: Uniqalc – No-code calculators for SaaS and AI pricing

Turn your pricing page into an interactive, “shopping cart–style” experience. Embed it directly on your site so customers can self-serve estimates.

Re:Show HN: Project Manager AI on Wednesday September 18, 2024 @11:32AM (#41581056)
Building a project management AI to go against the Trello/Jira etc. experience. The annoying part about these tools is actually keeping the tasks up to date. Instead, what if AI could automate the task creation, state updates, and completion. That’s the goal.

Ideally, you wouldn’t even need to directly interact with the AI, it could parse the information from your chat, github, etc. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. Thanks in advance!

Better Customer Feedback?

I worked on a startup for 2 years, and my biggest pain point was customer feedback. I know startups, including mine, mostly use surveys and emails to contact customers. Some more recent startups have gone a little more modern with Slack channels, maybe reddit etc. My thought is why not create a reddit type platform specifically intended to facilitate user/founder and user/user interaction. That...

Opinions on customer feedback. Better tools than email blasts/surveys?

In my last venture, I thought emails and surveys were such an outdated format for me to get feedback from my customers. Wanted to know what people thought of a Reddit like website as an alternative. Would love general feedback on the problem, but I built this in like 2-3wks using a Reddit clone if you like the initial idea: https://www.thecontor.com/

Blind User Feedback

In the context of getting feedback on mvp or startup idea, is it possible to get blind feedback from users? I feel like the feedback I get is skewed, with people being a lot more positive about it than being objective about it. is this just a me overthinking or do others feel this way too?

If you’re anti-AI for education, this is probably not for you. If you're curious about the responsible use of AI in education, then I think you’ll like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVM6FqA-8kg.

On their entire cloud spend?? That’s pretty crazy. Can you elaborate on your techniques at a high level?
Re:Frosti: No More Infrastructure as Code on Tuesday March 07, 2023 @02:12PM (#35059764)
Yeah we’ve seen the products that are similar to wing, and they’re very cool. Our approach though is to be as implicit as possible and have a very low barrier to entry, so customers can continue to use the azure/aws etc. sdks and we would create an “optimal” infrastructure for a given environment.
