#22 What are your thoughts on already having a product that people will pay for (and charging appropriately, direct selling to b2b markets) verses giving it away for free and monetize later?
Would this tactic impair because it confuses the value proposition, or benefit by spreading the business virally.For example: https://www.yammer.com/about/pricing

I was wondering... is it really worth it to have an API? Do you have many customers who use it? would those customers not be your customers if it weren't for the API? Thanks!
I can't prove that with numbers, but oh yes, we think the API is one of our key "success" points! One, the API helped us a great deal in terms of features / suporting different plattforms. Have a look: http://mite.yo.lk/en/platform/ – this is only possible because of our API, we couldn't have done that by ourselves, with a tiny team. Two, integrating 3rd party products helps to spread the word about your service, esp…

#24Why such a drastic drop in conversion rate jn early January 09?
Re: Time tracking app Mite reveals numbers for first 20 months
#25I'm surprised the conversion rate fluctuates so much. Why such a drastic drop in conversion rate jn early January 09?
Another point: our numbers are so low, in general, please keep that in mind. Every little fluctuation looks like a big deal. But isn't, really.

#281) Don't require me to have clients, project, or tasks. Just allow freeform entry. If I don't want to assign time to a project, but just a client I should be able to.
2) Let me mark hours as billed! I don't want to have a project list that looks like, "Project 1a, Project 1b, Project 1c). It makes reporting messy.
3) Don't have New Project, New Client, etc. screens. Just create them when I enter it into the form.
4) Must have a good time tracker that I can start, close, and come back to later to submit.
Doesn't seem that hard to me. Freckle is the one that come closest, and their UI is subpar and they don't allow you to mark hours as billed.

#29Tried out the app, but like all time tracking apps out there it fails to meet my extremely simple needs. Here is what a time tracking app should do to be fun to use (I would build one myself if I didn't sign a non-compete): 1) Don't require me to have clients, project, or tasks. Just allow freeform entry. If I don't want to assign time to a project, but just a client I should be able to. 2) Let me mark hours as bille…

#30Thanks guys, those are interesting numbers. I'm surprised how little you charge for your app though. Have you considered increasing the price or offering more expensive options?
