Pricing Strategy

Phase 1 (Months 0-6): Free to build users and reviews. Focus on product quality and word-of-mouth growth.

Phase 2 (Months 6-12): Launch freemium or usage-based pricing. Keep free tier generous. Optimize for conversions.

Phase 3 (Year 2+): Add subscription for power users. Enterprise pricing for teams. Revenue should be 10x development costs by year 2. If not, pivot pricing or pivot product.
