This is an interesting concept however I think it is priced too high. I also agree with others that it would be helpful to see what it looks like before signing up. Good luck!

If this is a product targeted to investors looking to make far more than $19/mo from their investments, then this price is fair, no?

Perhaps but at least for me I wouldn't be investing in every IPO and a large part is just speculation rather than real long term investing. There is no guarantee to making more than $228/year.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, it's something I was wondering. My thinking for this pricing is that if you just act on one of the signals and are right, you will hopefully have a return of more than a year's worth of subscription costs YMMV

Yeah I get it and maybe that's true. I honestly don't have enough experience speculating on IPOs or individual stocks in general - most of my assets are in automatically rebalanced target date funds or index funds.
Edit: So for me it is mostly about curiosity and staying informed. Perhaps making occasional bets.

#16I would love to get a free preview or 7 free days or something before I decide to pay. Would like to see what the content looks like :)
Heard this feedback from a few folks and definitely agree. How do you think I should differentiate the paid vs free option?
Having a free option sounds like a bad idea. Given that your users are by definition people interested in investing money, they should be perfectly suited to pay. Really what they're paying for is time, since they could find all of this info on their own, but their time is worth more than $20 to do so.
Edit: But I do like the idea of a free trial for a week or a month.

Please let your actual numbers drive your decision here.
There is always someone who would have bought it for less money but who actually probably is never going to buy it at all. (Not referring to the OP at all)
Look at your funnel, test where appropriate and decision from there.

I doubt many people will see it like that. This tool is for me if I've been missing IPOs. If I've been missing them, I've probably never made money off of one and I have no frame of reference for how much of a return I'd get.
Better off doing a freemium model or a free trial and then upselling the customer once they've understood the value prop.

Agree about a free trial. I'd consider something like $5/month for email updates, and then upsell into more advanced features that automate a process for me. If this thing could actually help me buy (e.g. hook it up to my Robinhood account and insert an order opening day) then I'd be willing to spend more.
