It&#8217;s because they are &#8212; they&#8217;re small, they quickly change in small ways, and they have very few pages. it turns out Jason Fried architects their products to be like that for good reason. They&#8217;re maintainable and they can put out more software with less developers, and they do the job (and only the job) well. I like this philisophy. Relevant part from the interview summary: They try to keep their decisions temporary, so the impact is smaller [...] […] I was pondering this today: when I use some of the (great) products that 37signals puts out, I feel like they’re all similar in some way.

I'd highly recommend launching as soon as you can. You will learn a ton about what your users think is valuable and it will probably be different than what you thought. Get the app out there, get people using it, then adjust it. Regarding people's reaction to introducing a paid-for-plan later? I don't think it's a problem at all. Good luck! Ryan Hey Mike,

Great question.

Good luck!

One question I have though regarding the pricing for a Web App is: When is the best time to introduce your "paid for" plans ? For my upcoming project I will have the, now standard, free account but I will also have higher featured paid for accounts. However, I'm not sure if I should have these available from start-up or whether to introduce them at a later stage enabling me to bring my app online quicker (the coding for the higher featured accounts will take a little longer to implement). Does introducing paid for accounts at a later stage put off your existing users, therefore, would having them available from the launch signify to your customers where you intend on taking the app ? Or is it more than acceptable to build up the user base on solely free accounts and then offer the paid for options as an "extension" to the system ? What are your thoughts on this ? It would be good to hear from others too about their experience(s) on the best time to introduce paid for accounts. - Mike Hi Ryan,

I highly recommend listening to them. Most recently, I listened to Jason on MarketingMonger, and that interview really pushed me to get this post up here (been meaning to talk about Jason for quite some time). Another very accessible interview with Jason was on Amber MacArthur&#8217;s Inside the Net podcast. The Web 2.0 Show had another great chat with Jason and finally on Vitamin Jason gives an interview titled Web apps, Cash flow and Pricing.
