Discussing Pricing Models for TalkTastic: Community Input Needed
In ancipation of Yousif Astarabadi's forthcoming survey about paid tiers for Talktastic — I've been thinking about what kind of business model would sustain the product long-term. I'm also considering my various existing SaaS subscriptions and what I'm willing/able to pay for tools I value... so in the interest of proactivity, I thought I'd turn this back to the community: What are your thoughts about pricing for TalkTastic? What's the upper bound on how much you'd pay monthly to keep using Talktastic? Are there any must-have features that would cause you to pay any amount? I've been using Windsurf to vibe code lately and its updated pricing model more or less works for me. I get a base number of credits every month and if I go over, then I can buy more at a set rate. Similarly, I've been listening to more audiobooks and Spotify and for the first time ran out of hours (Pro subscribers get 10 hours/month). I went ahead of topped up and got another 10 hours that won't expire for a year. The challenge for TalkTastic is how it defines a "unit of work"... is it time-based? Token-based? Should there be speed or quality tiers? What would you like to see?
