I run https://serverthiefbait.com/ and the highest plan is $900 (not recurring). However, nearly everyone who buys that plan seems to mail me with special requests, which I usually do for free but probably should switch to a 'contact sales' model and decide the price based on the customers needs.

It's usually things like "can you help us with automation to roll this out to every one of our users home directories", or "we want every wallet tagged with the computer name and path so we can respond quicker if theft is detected". Legit requests, but not features built into the built-in-a-weekend service.

This is how we price: https://www.demandsphere.com/pricing/

How do you fare with 'just' 14 free days? I always find that if I get busy, or life just gets in the way that 14 days isn't always enough. I have, though, with certain vendors, negotiated a certain number of hours that I have always used (and if I've not continued to use the product I've always provided honest feedback as to why not).

From my experience, anyone looking to spend more than $1000 per month will want to have a conversation with someone.

They might not require any additional features, but many companies will need an account manager's email address to enter into their procurement system.

So “contact us” helps both sides.

That's a really neat little business. I like it a lot.
