Hi everyone,

I recently published an app on App Store and I’m looking for honest feedback regarding the pricing model.

The app lets users create expenses by simply speaking into the app or by uploading a bank statement. This requires API calls to my own server and AI models, so keeping it free has become difficult as downloads increased after one of my YouTube videos picked up traction.

I’ve currently priced the app at $9.99, but I’m trying to understand whether the overall value proposition make sense from a developer’s perspective.

I’d be happy to share promo codes with anyone willing to try it and give direct, critical feedback. I’m especially interested in:

• Whether the app feels like it solves a real enough problem
• How you’d think about monetization for an app with ongoing server costs
• Whether the AI-based workflow feels reliable enough for production use
• Technical or product decisions you’d challenge if this were your app

If you’re open to testing it, please comment or DM me and I’ll send over a promo code.

Thanks in advance. I’m genuinely looking for critical feedback.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to think through how to evaluate whether an AI-assisted expense tracking app is actually creating enough user value to justify a paid subscription.

The idea is: users can log expenses by speaking into the app or by simply uploading their bank statements, but these features depend on server calls and AI costs, so a free model becomes difficult to sustain at scale.

I’m not looking for product feedback or testers. I’m more interested in the research approach.

- Whether the workflow is solving a frequent and painful enough problem

- What signals indicate that users trust AI-generated financial categorization

- How to separate “interesting feature” from “worth paying for”

- Whether pricing research should happen before or after usability testing

- What lightweight methods would be most useful before making pricing changes

Btw, I do have promo codes if anyone enjoys tearing products apart, it would be on me. Simply DM or comment for one.
