Hey Makers! A friend of mine runs a small SAAS product with ~1000 users and is currently using per-user pricing, at a low price of $1 per user, no minimums or maximums, no tiers and has found great success with it. This had me interested to find out which pricing models you've tried and found the most success with? As a Maker, I've made products that use a free (ad supported) model, which worked really well but is becoming less trusted with the increase in privacy first products and can be hard to get advertisers that align with your vision/ethics (especially when you just need that $$$). I have also worked on products that use a tiered pricing model but we had a hard time getting our initial users until we released a free tier. From a consumer point of view, I personally find flat rate pricing/subscription to be ideal for me, because I know how much it's going to cost each month, regardless of the number of users. I also use a lot of products that adopt the freemium model, which works great if you're able to offer me basic (but useful) functionality, and then upgrade to unlock premium features for a fee. What is your favorite pricing model(s)? What has worked / not worked for you? And what do you like as a consumer? Excited to hear your responses!

Did you know? Pigeons were used for sending messages and invitations not only in ancient times, but as recently as early in 1990s, during World War I. If you have been given a chance to train a Pigeon. What (one) skill will you train her for? P.S. - The average peak speed of homing pigeons is 60 miles per hour.

iPod? AirPods? iMac? This started as a debate on our company Slack and we still can't decide. What do you think?
