Monetization strategy for a bookmarking app? freemium vs subscription
Hi! I recently launch my first app, a universal bookmark manager that allows viewing content in app, and after several App Store rejections I’ve finally managed to get a stable update approved!
Now I need to think about lorn term sustainability.
As the user base grows the costs also and this becomes a problem.
I’m looking for advice on how to structured my monetization,
Usage limits: implementing a cap on daily “in app views” or save: bookmarks to keep API/server cost predictable
Subscription: a low cost monthly subscription for pro features, unlimited saved, cloud sync, desktop app, etc.
My questions
Usage based limitations: don you find that hard caps, like “ X saved per day” frustrate users to much, or is it an effective way to drive conversion to a subscription ?
Pricing for utility: any advice on tired pricing vs a simple monthly fee?
Any advice or “lessons learned” from those of you managing similar apps would be greatly appreciated!
