Unclear whether you're joking. OP is charging $5/mo to those 5000 users.

kirykl Oct 31, 2017 View on HN

What would be your conversion (for the 100k users) at $1 a month ?

Who do you know does $3 per user with $1M per month?

goatlover Sep 13, 2016 View on HN

$1 for a billion+ users? Long as it costs them less, should add up to nice sum per month.

LeifCarrotson Mar 27, 2025 View on HN

$3/month is a lot of money, when their current revenue per user is approximately $0/month.

dsschnau May 10, 2018 View on HN

They make like $6 per user per year

ivalm Jul 12, 2020 View on HN

18k/year with 6 mil users is... 0.003 euro per user per year? Certainly even running ads would meaningfully improve this.

How is that possible since even instagram spent around 10k per month for few million users? Am I missing something?

terminalshort Nov 7, 2025 View on HN

They charge around $15 per month IIRC. It's more like 3x revenue per user.

I think they are offering $10 per user given that 3.45 billion is a widely reported user estimate.
