Launch Board Monetization Check

Decide if and how to add paid tiers to your free launch board

Problem
Many indie developers run free launch boards or directories, then want to add paid options but aren't sure users will pay, what price fits, or how to structure free vs paid perks. Some add paid tiers after a free month with zero confidence.
Solution
A lightweight analytics tool that connects to your launch board's view and click data, generates willingness-to-pay signal reports, recommends pricing tiers and perk gaps, and provides A/B test templates.
Users
Indie developers and micro-teams running free launch boards, directories, or newsletters
MVP
One-snippet view/click tracking; willingness-to-pay dashboard (return rate, save rate, submission conversion); pricing and perk-gap recommendation engine; A/B landing page templates
Revenue
Subscription ($9/mo) for full reports and A/B templates; or one-time report purchase $19
Why now
Launch boards and directories are proliferating, but most operators lack pricing validation tools; indies can enter with lightweight analytics
