请问HN:对于一个售价为0.99美元的应用,Mac应用商店值得吗?
我开发了一款Mac应用程序,它是一个简单的单一功能工具,主要面向一个小众群体(音乐/视频/内容制作人)。这个应用解决了我找不到其他解决方案的问题,我自己也在使用,并且对结果非常满意。
我一直在考虑将其出售,鉴于这是一款简单的应用,面向小众市场,定价为0.99美元似乎是一个合理的价格。我觉得如果价格更高,就不太划算,我自己也不确定是否会以更高的价格购买。
在这个价格点上,我在想Mac App Store是否值得支付入驻费用。我并不是一个“正式”的开发者,只是刚开始尝试制作应用,想以一个合理的价格分享我制作的这个简单工具。我在考虑这个应用是否能赚回每年99美元的费用。
我知道对于许多在HN上的人来说这只是小事,但我对任何建议都很感兴趣。谢谢!

I've developed a Mac app that's a simple 1 trick pony, aimed at a niche audience (music / video / content producers). It solves a problem I couldn't find any other solution to, and I've been using it myself & have been really pleased with the results.<p>I've been thinking about putting it up for sale, and given it's a simple app for a niche audience, $0.99 seems like the the reasonable price point. It feels like it wouldn't be good value at a higher price, I don't know if I'd buy it for more than that myself.<p>At this price point, I'm wondering whether the Mac App Store is worth the cost of admission. I'm not a "proper" developer, I'm just dipping my toe into making apps and want to share 1 simple tool I've made at a price that feels reasonable. I'm questioning whether this app would make back the $99 per year fee.<p>This is small potatoes for many on HN I know, but I'm interested in any advice anyone might have. Thanks!
