Great results on the first attempt I did.

When I wanted to export the result in highest available resolution, it asked me to subscribe for $5/month. I only need 1 single screenshot, so I’m not going to subscribe, but I can see this being used by big newspaper companies. Good luck with your project!

OP here. Thanks, that's good to hear. I got journalists at a couple of the big newspaper players here in my country (Norway) to purchase subscriptions, and after seeing these pop up in articles rather often, I felt that I had sold myself short with the $5 monthly fee. One of them (VG.no), is like the 2nd biggest site in Norway, with 70 million visits a month. I guess I'm bad at business.

Took me 2 scrolls to find an image probably generated by your tool.

You probably should make a personal account which limits the amount of images you can generate a month (10?) and a business account which offers unlimited generation but for a steep price.

Or maybe allow free usage with an added watermark. So that people can try it out on their own screenshot, eventually distribute them internally, and pay when they need to remove the watermark for public distribution.

I think that's how the SD basic tool works.

$5/yr is too much for the casual user and too little for big newspapersq

Nit: It’s 5/mo not per year

I think the insight here is you should offer a pay-per-use model too.

It's the wrong pricing model, in my opinion.
