23€ per year for an automatic source switcher ? I understand it might be more tricky that it looks, but it's more than I am willing to pay, event for a lifetime license.
Ah, those audiophiles? If anything, that's the perfect opportunity to sell them some [orders of magnitude overpriced] essential oils diffuser with proprietary pouches with... uh... gold nano particles to improve lossless signal transmission over the air.
The target audience is people who don’t want to deal with this stuff and have their sound working as expected and don’t bother to pay $2 a month for it. It’s not free because freeware also requires to provide support.
It's an extremely niche product, if I end up getting 1000 paying users, I will be making about 1000 USD/month from this after Apple's commission and sales tax.
I don't expect to have that many users, honestly. So if it happens that I get a few hundred paying users I can pay a freelancer to improve on the app occasionally or rationalize spending time on this fixing bugs and adding features.
Also, it's completely optional app that is for convenience only. As I explained, the same effect can be achieved by manually changing the input source from the settings or write and setup a script to automate things.
I didn't meant to undervalue your work, you are entitled to your pricing. I shared my perceived value, and for wrong reasons, I'm just frustrated because I've been looking for this exact usage for a long time, and I just can't find rationale spending that much only for convenience.
Note, for your marketing, I can't recommend your app at that price, but at low enough price I would recommend your app to all my coworkers at each bluetooth hiccups, because just as you state, mac microphones are much better, and I hate suffering bad microphones.
Fair enough, if it turns out that tens thousands of people are interested in the app and not much support requests are incoming I can re-consider a lower price point.
It's possible that another price point or model yields better results. Thank you for your feedback, I will look into it.
