Product makes great impression. Still I have a slight problem with pricing scheme. If for a band 5GB is not enough, and needs e.g. 10GB instead, it needs to put out 120€ per month more. That sounds hostile.

It would be probably better if pricing scheme is more modular, and pure hosting capacity aspects are priced reasonably.

Additionally option of yearly licenses with hosting on side of a client would be a big plus




Thank a lot for your feedback on this!

Based on my past experience the storage limits are well over the actual needs. It usually only grows when bands have a lot of photos on their website. At the moment I'm implying that a band with a lot of photos has been around for quite some time and is probably also somewhat successful by then, so they'd have to choose a larger plan anyways (because of increased traffic).

Yearly plans is definitely a thing I'm going to add in the future. :)


It might be worth outlining a bottom-line for yourself, from which to value-add.

Start with your value added.

For the extra:

For example, 40GB monthly bandwidth on DigitalOcean currently costs YY, therefore my cost is bandwith cost is XX depending on how much extra (new resources to spin, and people to admin this) is used.

Don't pick a number from the air. Have some bottom line to, first, make sure you're in the black, and second, can re-buff pricing challenges.
