Does pricing your product too low hurt trust more than it helps sales?

When we launched, we priced our entry tier at $9/month to make it an easy decision for anyone. But we noticed potential buyers kept asking hyper skeptical questions about security reliability and support . As an experiment we bumped the starting to $29/month with zero product changes, and closing conversations actually became smoother.

Have you ever found that raising your prices changed the quality or confidence of your buyers?

AI Employees launches here tomorrow. Which role would you hire first?

Hi everyone, Dmytro here, CTO and co-founder of Easy-Peasy.AI.

AI Employees goes live on Product Hunt tomorrow, Thursday Nov 5, at 12:01 AM Pacific. You hire AI teammates by role (19 ready-made roles, or describe your own) and brief them in a group chat. The lead splits the work, teammates reply in a thread, and you get one write-up. Each employee has a memory, its own computer and routines that run on a schedule or when an email arrives. Emails, calendar changes and app actions wait for your OK.

How do you move power users from your free tier to paid plans?

When we launched, we were extremely generous with our free plan to lower the barrier to entry and get initial traction.

It worked for growth, but now a significant chunk of our active daily users rely on the product heavily without ever needing to upgrades. Whenever we consider shifting certain features behind a paywall, we worry about pushing away the early adopters who helped build our community.

How do you restructure your pricing tiers to drive conversion without frustrating the free users who generate word-of-mouth momentum?
