some people just need it for one time job others more regular. I guess for one time usage I should charge and for regular users require a credit card...but they will cancel it and extract as much as they want in the 14 day trial....
or I was thinking if it's a huge pdf file, charge per row of data extracted.
I always thought that it was more generic tool since it's made for people who wants a tool to extract data from pdf files. But maybe that itself ends up being a niche.
Current user base is widely distributed there's no strong user base from one industry although real estate is a possibility. Selling to that niche means I would need to create a separate marketing page and maybe even modify the software to their needs?
Running the service costs $100 / month. But me having to work on it full time for free.
Successful number of jobs is around 70~80%. sometimes bad extraction is also caused by the user labeling things incorrectly.
Say my hourly rate is $30/hr, I end up spending 10 hours, $300, fixing one user's bad extraction. My hope is that this fix will transfer to other user's encountering similar bad extractions. The smallest plan earns $30/month. From this pattern I can see that what the average user pays won't cover my time spent on fixing bugs with the extraction system or maybe this is an early assumption? Also about 10% of bad extractions are simply impossible to do with just software alone, it really requires human to intervene and do it manually (something I can't do because it takes so long).
