I used to charge $9/month for Commentify.
Because I thought… cheaper = easier to sell.
Wrong.
People didn’t hesitate because of price.
They hesitated because it looked too cheap to be legit.
So I doubled it… $19/month.
Same product, but with a few extra things that didn’t increase our bills.
Guess what changed?
- Fewer doubts
- Better retention
- And customers who actually read onboarding emails
Turns out, $9 attracts tryers.
$19 attracts users.
Low pricing doesn’t make your product accessible…
It makes it forgettable.

Brutal Truth:
Your real competitors aren’t other startups… it’s your fear of charging what you’re worth.
