$29/mo may be too high for indie developers building agents. Consider:
- $19/mo Developer tier to reduce friction
- Stronger freemium model (cloud free tier with limits, not just local)
- Validate willingness-to-pay before committing price points
Action: Launch with generous free tier on cloud. Collect usage data before finalizing paid pricing.
Local-first product — pricing strategy deferred until/unless a hosted offering is considered. See ADR-012 for updated user targets. The cloud pricing tiers proposed here are not applicable to the current local-first direction.
| Tier | Price | Events/mo | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free / Local | $0 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Developer | $29/mo | 100k | 30 days |
| Team | $79/mo/seat | 500k/seat | 90 days |
| Business | $249/mo/seat | Unlimited | 1 year |
Target: $5k-20k MRR with 100-200 paying users.
See ADR-012 for related challenge: 100-200 paying users may be optimistic. Maybe target 20-50 first.
