Hi - how did you determine pricing for a niche?


In my niche, there are 2 legit SaaS providers.

-One charges $85/month, has decent support but a disliked and old product.

-The other charges $60/month, has poor support and a very slow product (~30 sec. page load time)

I knew that I had a superior product (months of real-world testing) and that our business wanted to make support a priority.

In the end, we priced at $100/mo or $1000/yr. It's higher than everyone else which implies a better product (kinda). I haven't run into sticker shock yet for anyone with an existing business.

We're planning on raising the price >20% for new customers within 6 months.


Why does that matter if it is a public key?


Theoretically, for DSA and RSA keys under 1024 bytes, they can be brute forced. If you have one of these keys, you won't want to expose them.

It's security through obscurity, but obscurity in addition to real security offers no real harm.
