Gotta remember that pricing is the hardest part of running a SAAS business. More often than not, you're going to get it wrong the first time, and maybe even the second time.
As much as Chargify's new prices are a turnoff, I understand their reasoning. I also understand the outrage. Any uptick in pricing is going to result in unhappy chatter on the Internets.
As someone working on a SAAS project, I'm doubly interested in this news.
1 - for keeping an eye on the competitive landscape for companies like Chargify and Spreedly.
2 - for looking at the side effects of pricing changes and the negative marketing impact
I have this feeling that when I finally release my product, I should price it slightly higher than my gut tells me to ensure that I reduce the risk of any price hike negativity resulting from unforeseen operating costs.
