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…

    Stripe 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

    If 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…

    Hey, 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…
