I’m currently thinking about SaaS pricing for solo users. Most tools charge a flat monthly fee, but I’m considering not charging users in months they don’t actually use the product.

The idea is to avoid the cancel / resubscribe dance and make things feel fairer for people with tighter budgets.

Not sure if this is naive or practical — has anyone tried something similar?



I like Jetbrains-style subscriptions: recurring, but upon cancellation, you still retain access to the last version you paid for.


Thanks. I’ll keep this in mind.
