Looks great, but just a quick one: don't charge $5 for premium product, it just doesn't like premium. Either give all features for free for launch period or charge more.


Hi, thanks for the feedback.

In fact, the free account has all the features of premium, except the possibility to directly upload photos which we haven't implemented yet.

Just trying the waters here with a concept that we wanted to get out ASAP, to see what people think of this kind of story visualization :-)

We definitely need to spend more time with the pricing.


There are also other things you could monetize that would make it easier for people to open their wallets.

Customization is probably a good thing, i.e. the subdomain and own-domain thing.

Physical stuff is always good, so I'd love to pay for an automatically created photobook/photobook-ready-PDF (I hate to do them in the crummy software supplied by the printer). Or, go one step further even and allow direct upload to Lulu. Basically a Make-your-own-coffee-table-book.

In any case, you might want to think about specifically targeting power users from the start, instead of going for the freemium market.


Thanks for the idea. Yes we have it on the road-map with our poster app http://47posters.com . Our problem now is that we have more products that we want to integrate, but now we have to focus on one. And also we have to make clear who to target. More users here suggested to target more focused audience with premium account (backpackers etc).
