1. there isn't a inbuilt mockup tool. you could provide some default templates for different browsers, iphone, android, etc. that will really help us developer get straight into mock up.
I like the simple, straightforward approach in the web app, just let me focus on the mockup with its versioning & sharing features. Nice!

Not always. Reducing the price on a subscription-based product like this can make the early adopters feel like suckers-- whereas it's easy to grandfather them in on a raise in prices.
How do you feel about retroactively applying the new, lower cost to early adopters? I'm on the verge of doing some extensive A/B price testing and plan to do this with any users who buy at a higher price.
Allowing such easy changing of the homepage is a great idea - it helps contextualise what the app does into something that might be useful to a user really fast. Good luck!

Please don't undercut your competition on price. I remember a quote by Tony Wright (of RescueTime) where he said that "Getting traffic on and off is okay but for a business to survive, it needs a predictable source of potential customers and leads". If you are selling your service for $19/month, you will be forced to keep your cost of acquiring new customers less than that. Which of course means less budget for marke…
To be fair, $19/month only means that the cost of acquiring a new customer must on average be less than the current value of $19/month multiplied by the average time a customer remains a customer (at that price point). Obviously that can't be known on the front end, of course. Any thoughts on what a reasonable customer acquisition cost is for a service like this?

But personally, I try to keep my CAC below 15% of my LTV.
RescueTime, the company I just stepped down from, has about 8% of its users visiting with 1024 screens. This percentage WAS trending down but has flattened (Netbooks? iPads?).
The website promises "smarter versioning" but each of the examples have only a single version, so there's no opportunity to review this feature.
Not only do you not support 1024 wide, you do it with backgrounds on your "how it works" page, so I can't even scroll sideways if I want to. Note: I'm a design/product guy currently on a netbook (i.e. I'm your target market). RescueTime, the company I just stepped down from, has about 8% of its users visiting with 1024 screens.

I signed up and was surprised to learn that all the mockups would need to be created in an outside program. I guess that serves a purpose too, to be able to create a clickable thing to show your colleagues, but it wasn't immediately clear to me that an actual mockupping tool isn't included.
Yeah, I made sure to put "With Mocksup you can upload website mockups" in the subhead on the homepage, and was hoping the Examples page would help alleviate that a little bit. But I know no one reads marketing copy. Good feedback, I'll keep tweaking that.
I really like the design - it was easy to navigate and find stuff. But I had a hard time finding the signup button.
Mockups and Mocksup is a confusing read.
