I kind of hate the profanity being part of the branding, or anywhere else that I’m going to use professionally. It’s pretty useless since it’s not actually describing the service (what exactly does “no bullshit” mean for forms?), and just detracts it and the team or developer who made it.
You’re presumably storing a lot of personal data - perhaps inadvertently. How are you handling the minefield of data protection?
Lots of questions surrounding this.
I might be in the market for a forms service, and have been researching them a bit over the past few weeks. As a potential customer, here is the single biggest thing that made me instantly say no: free. Even worse it's unlimited free, not even freemium. That means either the service will sell my information, or the information of my customers (if not now, eventually), or that it's going to die shortly. And I don't wa…
Yes, please start charging. Aside from the effect it has on perceived trustworthiness, longevity, etc., giving away your work for free undermines others' ability to make a living selling theirs.
If your product isn't better than the free one why should anyone pay for it?
If it is better, why are you worrying about competition that offers an inferior product? If anything, that should drive more customers to your business.

I didn't quite have this harsh of an outlook, but I also immediately scrolled to see what "paid" versions there were as a "seriousness" check. That's interesting.

It seems that everything is either pay-with-privacy, or $100/year, with no middle ground, and that's sad for me as an indie.
(Btw, I am trying to fit into this gap with a $1/mo subscription for a commercial-quality weather forecast complication for Apple Watch: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weathergraph-weather-forecast/... )

On the other side, I'd love an indie-accessible service where I wouldn't pay more than a total cost of a cheap VPS and a domain for a single SaaS which forms like a 5 % of user experience.

for something like git number of accounts or private repository count can be enough of a signal to act as differentiation in plans, but for something like forms it's going to be hard, maybe authentication or sso, idk.
