24 alternatives to Help me price my startup webapp
Thank you for taking some time to help me out! http://projectionable.herokuapp.com I just launched Projectionable at http://projectionable.herokuapp.com. My goal is to decrease the time it takes to get client approval for project estimates by making the estimates interactive for clients. I haven't set up Stripe yet (I'm setting up an LLC then I'll be on my way), and I'm trying to iron out the pricing strategy by the time I have that set up. Basically, I see three options: 1. Charge users to invite clients to a project. These are single transactions on a per project basis. 2. Offer monthly…

Paritydeals▲331Stripe is great, but is not simple. You end up handling many webhooks, mirroring Stripe data, tracking subscription states, and hardcoding feature checks. Managing upgrades, downgrades, migrations, overrides, and grandfathering often needs custom scripts. ParityDeals keeps that billing logic out of your app. Once you integrate ParityDeals SDK, you can manage everything from a single dashboard. No further code changes required. I'd love to hear your feedback

Autumn▲719If you’re on tech twitter you may have noticed an increasing dissent with Stripe and it’s DX. t3.gg (Theo) summarizes it best: “IMO, the biggest issue with Stripe is the "split brain" it inherently introduces to your code base. When a customer checks out, the "state of the purchase" is in Stripe. You're then expected to track the purchase in your own database via webhooks. There are over 258 event types. It's far too easy to have a payment be failed in stripe and "subscribed" in your app.” We've built an OSS abstraction to build any pricing model 1 line of code. The idea is a layer over…

The LLM providers are constantly adding new models and updating their API prices. Anyone building AI applications knows that these prices are very important to their bottom line. The only place I am aware of is going to these provider's individual website pages to check the price per token. To solve this inconvenience I spent a few hours making pricepertoken.com which has the latest model's up-to-date prices all in one place. Thinking about adding image models too especially since you have multiple options (fal, replicate) to use the same model and the prices are not always the same.

Hi HN, I built Small Transfers, a payments platform for SaaS / API makers who want to bill customers per request instead of pushing them into subscriptions or pre-buy packages. *Why?* - Many customers hate subscriptions and/or want to use a service occasionally. - Traditional payment processors add a fixed fee to every charge, making charges below 1 USD impractical. - Stripe UBB tracks usage, but you still need to write your own auth, add spending limits, and each merchant charges cards separately (extra fees for customers). *How it works?* - Each merchant has a Small Transfers…

Zoneless▲111Hey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6. I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a…

Credyt▲100Hey HN! I'm the founder of Credyt (https://credyt.ai). If you're running an AI product that burns $0.50+ per interaction, you need to bill customers as usage happens, not at the end of the month. Otherwise you're a bank for your customers, and you'll run out of money before they do. Why invoice-based billing doesn't work for AI: Most usage-based billing tools (Stripe Billing, Orb, etc.) were built for SaaS. They meter usage all month, then send an invoice. That works fine when your COGS is 5%. It's a disaster when you're paying your AI vendor upfront for every request and your…

Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

Hi HN, I am a CTO/Founder usually stuck in "development hell" on long-term projects. To fix my perfectionism, I started a challenge on Jan 1st: Ship 12 startups in 12 months. This is Project #01: TierWise. The Problem: Most SaaS founders price for the US/EU market. Charging a flat $49/mo excludes huge segments of users in LATAM, India, or Southeast Asia where purchasing power is lower. Building a custom GeoIP/PPP logic for every side project is a distraction. The Solution: I built a drop-in JS widget that detects the visitor's country and calculates a discount based on…

Hey HN folks, In my experience with SaaS, I've often seen pricing strategies get less attention than they deserve. Usually, they're based on basic market surveys, intuition, or just echoing what competitors are doing. However, effective pricing is crucial for business growth. Through my professional journey, I've realized the importance of a data-driven approach to pricing, though it's challenging, it can be incredibly beneficial. That's where Potio comes in. Potio is designed to help online businesses set up their first Stripe monetization experiment in just 15 minutes. We're not fully…

I built a Stripe tool that lets your customers generate their own editable invoices for past & new payments, from your connected Stripe accounts. My target is merchants selling online using Stripe Payment Links, Checkout, or Subscriptions. Whether you are a solopreneur, SaaS founder, or freelancer. Stripe charges 0.4% often up to $2 each, to generate PDF invoices for one-time payment purchases. These invoices are usually not editable. With InvoicelyApp: * You get a unique link that your customers can use to view their purchase history, generate, edit, and download invoices for any payment…

I'm obsessed with pricing page design and optimization. So I went ahead and made a collection of 200 B2B SaaS pricing pages so that other B2B founders can have an easy-to-use resource to go to for inspiration. Hope someone finds it useful!
