			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>There are lots of ways to go about pricing your web application, and there may not be a single right answer for any single app. When considering pricing, it&#8217;s important to evaluate all the options. Here are a few less traditional methods we&#8217;ve been discussing.</p>

	<p><strong>Charge once.</strong><br />
Great for building momentum. Great for quick revenue. Maybe not so great for long term earnings.</p>

	<p><strong>Advertise within your app.</strong><br />
We&#8217;ll see more and more advertising fueled apps. It can work if <a href="http://start.io/">done well.</a></p>

	<p><strong>More customers = higher pricing.</strong><br />
The more customers you get, the more you charge. Have to start really low&#8230; <a href="http://qcklnk.com/u">Pinboard</a> does it.<span id="more-1101"></span></p>

	<p><strong>More customers =  lower pricing.</strong><br />
On the flip side, the more users you have, the more money you&#8217;re making, and more money helps to take care of other costs (like hosting).</p>

	<p><strong>Charge based on a granular sliding scale.</strong><br />
A sliding scale is a cost based on your customers&#8217; ability to pay. Usually apps have predefined tiers- but do they have to?</p>

	<p><strong>Pay What You Think it&#8217;s Worth.</strong><br />
Lots of restaurants swear by it. Desktop software has embraced it for ages. Why not web apps?</p>

	<p><strong>Give power through participation.</strong><br />
There&#8217;s a site called <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">stackoverflow.com,</a> and it nicely demonstrates just how cool this can be.</p>

	<p><strong>Whatever works</strong><br />
You don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel with your pricing, &#8211; but it&#8217;s important to think about which option fits best. Before you commit to &#8220;big,&#8221; &#8220;bigger,&#8221; &#8220;biggest&#8221; pricing plans, &#8211; at least take a few minutes to think if it&#8217;s really the best way to price your app.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Since launching our group communication tool, <a href="http://staction.com">Staction</a>, in January we&#8217;ve been blessed with quite a few nice words and plenty of user suggestions. We love hearing suggestions – it&#8217;s always good to hear how our users would change Staction because it gives us great insight into how people are using Staction.</p>

	<p>Well, you asked and we listened: Today, we&#8217;ve <strong><em>upgraded the user and storage allowances</em></strong> on all Staction plans.<span id="more-467"></span></p>

	<p><a href="http://www.staction.com/site/sign-up/"><img src="http://pasteinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stactionplan.jpg" alt="Staction Plans" title="Staction Plans" width="450" height="309" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-474" /></a></p>

	<p><strong>More Users</strong><br />
Every plan, including the free plan, have been upgraded to allow for more users. 50% more, in fact! That means that you can now try out Staction with more people than just your buddy in the next cubicle over, and if you are on the deluxe plan you can now have 30 people on the same Staction account.</p>

	<p><strong>More Storage</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t be afraid to include all your work and files in your Staction stream, that is what it&#8217;s for after all. We&#8217;ve significantly boosted the storage on all of our plans!</p>

	<p><strong>Same Prices</strong><br />
This is a <strong><em>free upgrade</em></strong> to all our users, so you won&#8217;t see any change in your bill.</p>

	<p>We hope you like the higher limits and please keep the suggestions (and the nice words) coming!</p>]]></content:encoded>
