How do you figure out a pricing strategy for a plugin and prepare yourself for complaining users?

Yesterday, I announced that I'm getting ready to launch my MVP.
For now, it'll only be a beta version, but I'm already thinking about things like pricing, plans, and all that fun stuff.
Right now, these are the options on the table:

  • Freemium model (some features free, the rest behind a paywall)

  • Monthly plan ( 7)

  • Annual plan ( 59) with a discounted coupon

  • Multi-license packages

What would you criticise, change, or add to the pricing? If you know about a very good plugin I can inspire from and build my own according to it, please, drop them in the comments  I want to learn from the best.
My second question is about dealing with users who complain about pricing. From what I've seen while working with another app, people always seem to have something to say:
"Make it free."
"It's too expensive."
"Do you have a discount?"
And one thing I see a lot: people strongly prefer lifetime plans (should I consider one?)
If you have any tips on how to handle these kinds of comments from users, I'd love to mentally prepare myself in advance. :D

Hello PH!

I'm Danny, a painter from Denmark who taught himself to code.

No CS degree, no bootcamp. Just curiosity and a problem I needed to solve.

I kept losing momentum every time I stepped away from my desk so I built something about it. That's Cepho, launching today.

If you're a self-taught builder or just someone who codes between the cracks of real life I'd love to connect.

Cepho - Your IDE lives in the cloud. Code from your phone.

Cepho syncs your Cursor or VS Code workspace to the cloud — so you can continue coding from your phone, without your PC staying on. Ask Cepho AI about your codebase, get suggestions, and apply changes directly back to your files. Everything syncs automatically. One command installs the extension. One tap connects your phone. Cloud is the truth — devices are windows.
