I made a few decisions for tinylytics today, one of them was to increase the page hit limits for a free account from 500 to 1,000 (update: updated this to be 1,000 instead of 3,000). I wanted to offer this for Micro.blog or OMG.lol users, but it would have required a lot of extra work. Looking at my user base though, it's basically 99% the above 😋
This solves the integration side of things for me... otherwise I would have to build some sort of authentication system that regularly checks if you have an account with any of the above.
I am open to offer coupons one day perhaps, and they can also be applied to existing subscriptions if I wanted to go down that route. However, I am OK with the way it is.
Still undecided on what to do with my payment provider – I would have to make big changes to make any sort of switch (maybe for the better?).
I wanted to increase the price by $1 in August for new sign ups, and one more in September (capped at $7), but I think that $5/month really is a good price... what are your thoughts? Would you be happy if it stayed at that price for everyone?
