Depends a bit on your stage. Personally, I’d lean towards monthly pricing, since rev share can quickly become more expensive once things pick up. That said, I totally get that +$50/mo can feel like a lot when you’re just starting out and not seeing results yet.

If you’re early-stage, maybe take a look at Affonso, it’s more affordable.

Optimizing for users with few/intermittent sales to still eek a meager profit is pretty much the exact opposite of what these platforms should do.
