We build tools with AI baked in but made the decision early on to keep everything 100% local. No cloud processing, no telemetry. For our users that's been the biggest trust signal - knowing their data never leaves their machine.

We went with no free tier at all - just a 30-day money-back guarantee. At £24.95 one-time for a desktop utility, a free version felt like it would undermine the value more than boost conversions. The thinking: at this price point, a money-back guarantee IS the trial. The customer has committed psychologically, refund rates at sub-£30 are typically under 5%, and you skip the engineering overhead...

How do you decide what features should be free and what should be paid?

Hey! I'm Jo, indie dev from Worthing, UK - just launched K8

Spent the last year building file management tools because I was drowning in 500GB of duplicate files and nothing on the market handled it without being slow, sketchy, or subscription-based. So I built my own. Just launched K8 at lilbuba.ai - runs 100% locally, no cloud, no telemetry. Would love any feedback from fellow builders!
