This is how Google must feel with every ad they run on their products.

Holy cow, this guy already found 85 clones of https://t.co/3tMzhIlC1s. That's ridiculous 😂

Not only was this a zero ROI placement - but my email inbox is now full of cold outreach from all the outbid clones that want me to list on their sites too. Guys... No 😂

Some founders are responding with a sensational amount of grifter energy to the whole bidding website hype. This will ultimately backfire spectacularly.

That’s why enterprise has an expectation for MCP and API affordances for every software tool they use. I’m getting these requests every single time for Podscan. It’s a requirement now. People want to have their thing use your thing. And they always already have their own thing.

I feel like there's something in the air. A few months ago we had great models from Anthropic & OpenAI and maybe a couple more promising ones. Now we have even better Ant & OAI models + really solid usable Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Grok, Muse - something feels different now.

Ultimately the overwhelming majority of AI workloads will be based on open models!

I've been noticing that in myself too, and I feel that, in some ways, I've learned a better, more precise way of expressing a concept I would otherwise have misnamed. Kind of a good thing, right? "gate", "canonical", "pinning", and a few more.

higher price = lower churn sounds wrong but let me explain we launched Tweet Hunter at $9/month then raised prices, slowly $9 -> $19 -> $29 -> $39 -> $49 over roughly 12 months price went up 400%, and churn went DOWN here's what I have learned about pricing and churn from that: 1. churn is decided at signup, not at cancellation your pricing is a psychological filter on who comes in a bad-fit customer will leave in a month or two max. with low prices they come in fast because $9 says "it's someone's weekend project" and $49 says "it's a serious business built for serious operators" 2. the buyer changes with price, so the behaviour changes often if a $9/month user does not see value, they cancel right away (at this price, users generally come in to try or buy on impulse) but a $49/month user comes in with a goal and they usually try harder to get the value from it and if they have issues, they raise support tickets that make the product better what cheap pricing actually costs you: 3. cheap customers are the most expensive ones low prices don't just bring in users who leave fast, they bring in the most demanding people you'll ever serve more unreasonable feature requests, more support tickets, more refunds, and less revenue to cover any of it. I still do support on all 6 products, so I feel this one directly 4. your pricing decides what kind of users you let in, and that changes what YOU build low prices quietly cap what direction you take your product in how to actually raise prices: 5. raise slowly and ship while you raise $9 to $49 overnight is a completely different move than $9 to $49 across a year of shipping we shipped a lot on Tweet Hunter in those 12 months and I could see the difference in who was signing up 6. do not change the price for old users because for an old user, leaving means losing a rate they can never get back strongest retention lever I know that's lock-in though, not fit. split your churn by old price and new price if you want to know which one you actually got 7. when "too expensive" shows up as the reason for cancellation, that's usually not about price it's the polite version of "I stopped seeing value" if your product adds value to your users at a justified price, they will rarely complain about price and if they do, either your product isn't delivering value or they aren't the right user 8. past a certain price you leave impulse territory and enter budget review the Outrank agency plan is at $1,499. at that price nobody forgets they're paying you it gets looked at every month, on purpose, as an active expense see, all of this is true, but none of it will work if your product doesn't deliver the value you promise a high price on a weak product will just get you a lot of refund requests, nothing else it has played out similarly across all of my SaaS: - Revid: acquired as Typeframes, one-off videos, ~30% churn. rebuilt it as a real subscription at a real price. $00k+/month today - Outrank: $99/month, premium instead of cheap. LTV up 33%, churn down ~20%. $120k mrr last August -> $300k+ today - SuperX: told people last September to lock in $29 before it moved. it's at $49 now so do this today: pull up your cheapest cohort and your most expensive cohort compare retention, engagement, support tickets and even user type you already know what you'll find

Shipping lots of bets to see what works is super fun. But it doesn't work. It's like walking into a casino. Lots of fun, but you have a low chance of winning. None of my successful products came randomly from throwing spaghetti at the wall. They always started with: A customer with a problem. Stop guessing, start talking to customers. You'll 10x your chances of success.
