The thread is great !

But.. like I said to another nostrich, it's important to note that on the other hand not charging makes the product accessible to so many more people that wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise and who knows what they'll build, those things compound and could definitely have a snowball/butterfly effect.

As for quitting your job, it allows you to work so much faster, have a life and prevent burnout. So it's definitely a tradeoff and a personal choice !

I quit my job.

It's possible to have both a free and a paid offering for the same service or product, or to have new releases only for paying customers and older versions free. Etc.

Same and I really saw the difference between the before and the after, while building my own thing. The latter has been amazing !

Of course but then the incentives are different, *generally* the free part of the product degrades over time and the paid service gradually gets a greater and greater focus.

Though, I really like the idea of "releases only for paying customers and older versions free." but in some cases it might be tricky to implement / very easy to bypass. Damus has done it and I wonder how successful it has been.

The key to having two-tiered pricing is including things in the top-tier that aren't directly the software.
