    When it comes to pricing models for SaaS and indie products, there are several options to consider. Generally the most common pricing models are: Free: Some SaaS and indie products offer a free version of their product, often with limited features, in order to attract users and gain traction. This can be a great way to build a user base and generate buzz, but it's important to have a plan in place for converting free users into paying customers. One-time purchase: This is a straightforward pricing model where customers pay a one-time fee for the product, and then own it forever. This can work well for indie products that don't require ongoing maintenance or support, but may not be sustainable for SaaS products that require ongoing development and updates. Subscription: With a subscription model, customers pay a recurring fee (usually monthly or annually) for access to the product or service. This is a popular pricing model for SaaS products, as it provides a predictable revenue stream and allows for ongoing development and support. Freemium: Freemium is a combination of the free and subscription models. Users can access a limited version of the product for free, but are required to pay for additional features or functionality. This can be a great way to convert free users into paying customers, but it's important to strike the right balance between the free and paid versions of the product. Pay-per-use: This pricing model is often used for products or services that are consumed on an as-needed basis, such as cloud storage or video streaming. Customers are only charged for what they use, which can be appealing for those who don't need the product or service on a regular basis. These are just a few of the most common pricing models for SaaS and indie products. Which pricing models do you use for product and did you do any pivots in your pricing?

    I'm starting with free to gather feedback, then I would switch to one-time to validate payment, then I will switch to freemium to maximize revenue.

    @roberjet This sounds like a very good plan. What is your product? Some products like plugins and themes are natural fit for One Time payments.
