Is the user base churning or are you getting multi day active users? Which one will point you in a different direction. Once the page has been generated where can I host it? The answer will influence your target audience. And then on pricing what does a credit get me in terms of something tangible - a page, 5 pages? And for the target audience do they know which model is better? And if so why is it better to use your…

That's a great point. I will be updating the credit page with details like how many credit gives you which project.

Why it is better to use Zolly is simple. We provide you with Visual Editor. Where you can drag n drop images, click to edit text, click to add link.

On other AI builders you need to give prompt to even change a basic text which will eventually eat up your credits but with Zolly AI builds your website and You design it.

Honestly I planned it to keep Starter but it was only for a week. So thought for better understanding to change it to weekly.

But the feedback noted it would be better I guess to change it to Starter from Weekly

I’m a solo founder building an AI app builder that lets people generate web apps and websites from a prompt, then visually edit the output. People are signing up. They’re building things. Usage looks healthy. But almost no one converts to paid. I’m trying to understand what’s actually stopping people from paying in cases like this. Is it trust in AI-generated code? Fear of using it in production? Too much value in th…

Ask your customers

Honestly, I did

And few of my early users replied.

They were like " We got almost everything for free from building application to edit and then download or publish everything for free" Why would we upgrade to a paid plan.
