Hi Matteo, thanks for the reply — that’s a really tough question. AppTweak’s entry API plan starts at $166/month, which is honestly very expensive for an indie developer. That said, it includes 250,000 credits, and if we roughly assume 1 credit = 1 API request, the per-request cost comes out to about $0.000664, which actually feels quite reasonable. Because of that, I think the main issue isn’t the unit economics, but the high fixed monthly commitment. Personally, I’d be much more comfortable with a pay-as-you-go model, similar to what HikerAPI does: https://hikerapi.com/pricing Something usage-based (possibly with a small minimum or developer tier) would make it accessible for indie developers and small teams, while still scaling well for larger companies. Hope this perspective helps — happy to share more concrete usage numbers or scenarios if that’s useful.
Thank you very much for your reply! I think we need more data, so perhaps I could conduct a survey among our users. The key issue is how many users are willing to pay for this feature because, from our point of view, it requires a considerable amount of effort to manage; it's like having a second product.
Hi Pavel, thanks for the feedback! We could consider something similar, but it would be a completely different product from Astro, geared more towards teams and companies. May I ask how much you would be willing to pay for access to a similar service? These are the prices of apptweak: https://www.apptweak.com/en/pricing#api
