Just out of curiosity, are you leveraging liveview at all? I also use Phoenix for my SaaS project (took me 5 years to hit $2.5k/mo so congrats!) but I went all-in on liveview. It's some solid tech and I'm pretty happy with it but I'm wondering what the limits are when there is a lot of interactivity which seems to be the case with your app.
the main unanswered question I have: "is this for me?". (My company is a marketing agency).
normally I'd expect to see examples of your other clients, testimonials from customers, or case studies.
I saw 0 of this (whether it doesn't exist or I missed it is a separate problem).
Even if your customers are not notable brands, just knowing that someone else uses this and it works for them gives me more confidence as a potential customer.
Note how Stripe for example uses customer logos and real customer examples throughout their sales page. https://stripe.com/
If you're concerned about this, just try asking your existing customers. It sounds like they're involved with sales, so they probably understand the value of a testimonial. You could start the conversation by asking "How do use quotes, reviews, or testimonials in your sales process?".
side note: I like the demo video on the home page. I'm on a laptop screen and wanted to view it full screen so i double clicked the video, but this did nothing.
2nd side note: if you establish yourself within one type of customer, word will spread more quickly about your product, assuming it's actually a better solution.
Based on the example video, it looks like your product is used by remodeling companies
What stands out to me:
- thought out support for mobile devices
- integration with online payments
My main feedback would be that it would be really useful if you could include a video demo on the main website. I clicked on it and will probably come back to sign up and see if it meets needs later, but if I could get a good feel for if it matches requirements quicker it might improve conversion.
Hey, I’m a senior consultant at a small consulting company (c17 people) and pretty interested in your product actually - it looks great.

Great feedback, thank you! My day job is also at a small consulting firm, and we actually use PriceTable for time keeping and project management. It has been working great for us. I’d be happy to chat more, and give you a demo. You can email me at ege@pricetable.io!
At the moment to do a quote we have an excel document, which is basically a project plan which runs by week and we put the hours into each cell in the appropriate week (and on each row, specify the consultant). The output we get is a project plan which goes in our proposal document, and a fixed price which goes in there too.
Then we take the final number of hours estimated and input it into our accounting program which generates an invoice and tracks it through the lifecycle (with all the weird payment terms you get!). When we meet project hurdles we have an admin assistant which will then invoice on milestones.
Almost all our work is fixed price, but if we do need T&M we use Clockify to track time for free.
What would be the workflow with PriceTable? Can I replace the excel document or would I still need that to work out the overall hours requirement?
Was cofounder still customers CTO when their company started to use your product? Is he/she still employed on customer side? It feels like quite a conflict of interest and a risk, if the winds on that (sole, as I understand) customer's side will change...
He was, and still is. You are correct about the risk. They aren't our only customer but are the largest one. If they left, we would continue to be profitable, but just barely. :) Regarding conflict of interest, he has handled it well. Like me with my own boss, he was transparent with his boss from day one, and is very good about defending his employer's interests with anything related to PriceTable. We have actually…
