... limited, people churn before getting it. If it's too generous, they never upgrade. We landed on 2 free generations because it's enough to see the output quality but not enough to actually run a campaign. For 7/month vs 59/year, that's about 30% discount on annual which is standard. I'd test whether you can push the monthly higher ( 9-10) since people anchoring on monthly tend to be less price-sensitive than annual buyers.

... experiment for my startup, @Pretty Prompt : Remove the monthly tier; offer only Free or Yearly (basically no monthly plan available). We decided to do this after doing some simple maths and seeing that 42% of users today choose annual vs our monthly plan. So what if I can take out the monthly option entirely? Has anyone here done something similar or has experience with this? I think a big part of PMF is also a different type ... ... Pricing Market Fit). Does removing monthly pricing hurt conversion or actually make pricing clearer and push more users toward longer commitment? So then I did a bit of research: @Screen Studio Monthly + heavily discounted annual ($29/mo vs

... operators here:   What does your productivity tool stack actually cost per month all-in?   I ask because I just published a full breakdown comparing 10 of the most popular tools (Slack, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, HubSpot, Linear, Monday.com , Basecamp, Todoist, and Kobin) and the numbers genuinely surprised me even though I knew them going in.   The typical 5-person agency stack: - Slack Pro: $87/month - Notion Team: $40/month - Asana Premium: $55/month - HubSpot Starter: $50/month - Buffer: $18/month $250/month before Zapier ...

... service designer based in London. I'm excited to share Pirouette.Design a project born from my own struggles with design. When building my design portfolio, I knew what great UX looked like (think Stripe, Airbnb, Basecamp), but translating that knowledge into actionable improvements was the hard part. I needed clear, specific guidance not just inspiration. That's why I built Pirouette. It's a web app that gives non-designers confidence in their design decisions by analysing pages across ...

... everyone I m working on an experiment - a minimalist productivity app built for solo workers , not teams. Most tools today (Notion, ClickUp, Basecamp) are amazing, but they assume you re collaborating. When you work alone, all those roles, comments, permissions, and templates just get in the way. So I simplified everything down to one concept: Everything is a Page . A Page can be a project, a task (if it has a due date), or a note. Each Page can contain ...

... that, we weren't even a consumer software company. By January, we were seeing long posts on LinkedIn and X about how the product had changed people s lives. We also saw ~20% of our users convert to paid (vs. the usual 3 4%), and organic growth of ~90% month-over-month in January and February. On average, users were doing around 100 dictations a day and typing only 25 30% of their total input on a keyboard ... ... sharing. Not many people tell the pivots, spinoffs, reversals, etc. Respect what you've done and how you've shared it. More people need to know that it is not a straight line to the summit from the basecamp

Comment from Andy O'Gwilliam(@andyg1): Basecamp was an internal project for 37signals. They even invented the Ruby on Rails framework to write it. Both massive success stories. Now they write books too. Comment from Gin Tse(@jean_xavier): Just putting an ear here , curious about everyone ...

... Segal(@royesegal): @mat_sherman  This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for thank you for taking the time to write it out. We're not building a project management tool and definitely not trying to replace Basecamp or Asana, but we are focused on one very specific use case they don t handle well technical documentation (PRDs, tech specs, etc.).

I have also tried @Trello , @Todoist , @Basecamp , @ClickUp etc at other companies. I started testing @Flat for my own personal task / project management and like it (to me, it's kind of like really clean Notion-like Project management tool) but the challenge ... ...

Comment from Alan Rivera(@alan_rivera): windsurf, took me a while to switch over just because I didn't see any benefits over vs code + copilot. But these features changed my opinion : - it has more repo context (at least I feel like it does or it at the minimum understands the repo more) - rules - being able to send images for designs (this ... ... that a split keyboard provides. It's pretty hard for me to work on my regular mac keyboard now that i'm this acclimated! Comment from Bingbing Yan(@onbing): Cursor (AI-native code editor) it s ruined me for VS

... Everyone! I m Jerry, a software engineer and entrepreneur who built Swatle, an AI-assisted project management tool that helps teams complete tasks, not just manage them. Why Swatle? I saw a gap in traditional tools like Basecamp, ClickUp, and Asana. They help you organize tasks, but they don t help you get things done. So, I built Swatle combining real-time messaging like Slack and AI-powered assistance to make work execution smoother. Bootstrapped & Launched Built with a small ...
