Reddit kinda changed how I think about “lifetime SaaS”
A few days ago I made a post asking what people would pay for a lifetime ecommerce SaaS.
Funny thing is almost nobody really talked about the actual price
Most replies were more like:
- “how would this even survive long term?”
- “sounds risky”
- “what’s the catch?”
At first I thought people would mostly argue about whether it should be $300 or $1000 or whatever. But the bigger thing was trust.
So after reading the comments I started changing how we present it completely.
Instead of calling it a “lifetime deal” now we’re leaning more toward a smaller founding merchant style thing with limited onboarding and more transparency around updates / roadmap stuff.
Honestly didn’t expect wording alone to change people’s perception this much.
Still figuring it out.
