I really like this. I think the pricing is too high so I won't be using it, but really love the concept.

My concern was more that you'll have more people who would like to pay to remove the branding, compared to how many people would need the Pro plan, but you have offering for those customers. If you just want to remove the branding, I view it a $19/$29 subscription for something that's worth maybe $1 - $2. Maybe also add an explanation as to what a site is, because I can't tell what the difference between a site and a…
Thanks, removing branding with $2 looks like exactly what montaigne is providing. Fair enough, I need to reconsider the pricing model for Free plan.

Hi mrweasel, I've just reduced the Pro plan to $19 per month and the Enterprise plan from $199 to $99. Does this make sense to you? Will you consider it if you need to build a blog site?
I still think the $19 is really expensive, because I don't see a need for it. The bundling 10 domains is rather weird. It's something I'd love for an email provider, but for a blog I'd just get two subscriptions if I need two sites. Honestly... I'd consider it, but realistically I'd never get around to it, and maybe be slightly afraid that now my blog is trapped in Apple Notes and getting it would be horrible to migr…

#14This looks pretty nice. Not sure how large the market will be (whether it will be enough to sustain your needs, etc.). With the right integrations this could be a nice alternative to Medium/Substack. I'm a really occasional blogger though so I don't think I'd ever pay $29/month. I sense it might be easier to charge for things that can be monetised by your user base (e.g. if people want newsletters, paid subscribers,…
Thank you for the feedback; it means a lot to me. As you mentioned, Medium/Substack is indeed my ultimate target. But for now, my focus is on ensuring the service is stable and feature-rich. Regarding the pricing, I agree that it may have been a bit overpriced compared to the current feature set. I've just reduced the Pro plan to $19 per month and the Enterprise plan from $199 to $99. I intend to maintain this pricin…
You may want to do something to alleviate that, like a burstable page view so they don't get screwed the one time they make a post that somehow goes viral.
That said, your enterprise plan should probably stay at $199 or more. At a previous company we were paying over $400/month on average for managed Wordpress through Kinsta.

#15Funny to see a product inspired by my service.
It is quite challenging to do this one technically - eg way more difficult than to do website builder on top of Notion - so good luck.

I still think $19/month is quite the jump from free. The limit on page views is a bit weird. I see that as easily scaring off people that will never go anywhere near 100k page views, but fear they might.
