It doesn't even offer close to the features Google Analytics offers and costs $12/month. The same such a service as Netflix costs. The idea is nice but looking at the actual product here: https://simpleanalytics.io/simpleanalytics.io

It disappoints in every way, you can't even check yesterdays stats.

Please remember this is a Show HN, very early stage.

You could argue that if it is very early stage, then it's maybe not the right time to charge $12/month.

Or maybe it's the right time to charge $12/month?

Usually too early you don't want many low paying customer which would imply too much support while you iterate quickly. A low number of high paying customer is much better.

It's also easier to lower the cost later than increasing it. It's hard early on to find the right price point.

If he doesn't sale as much as he want, he will adapt.

$12 / month is a low-paying customer. An ultra low paying customer. You can only offer minimal support at that price point.

Also, it’s easier to raise prices than to lower them. If you lower prices, you need to do it for your current users too or they’ll complain. If you raise prices, you can grandfather people in AND it can be used to incentivize people to buy before the price goes up.
