Ask HN: Please review my automated web testing startup, Browsera

Business side - the recurrent pricing model does not make any sense whatsoever. Unless someone is actively developing the site or manually changes the content on a daily basis, per-use charges is what is expected.

There is certainly a market for enterprise-ish application of your idea, when the site is routinely modified several times a week by marketing and product people and such. But then your Basic plan basically will easily cover the needs of a small/middle size corporation with extensive online presence. Additionally, beware of the existing services like Keynote that already target that segment and that will be copying your idea in a matter of weeks.

I suggest a change in the pricing model to adjust to the most likely use from customers (many would like just a one-shot), something like:

- "Test" (one time): $29

- "Project" (one month): $199

- "Enterprise" (one year): $890

("Enterprise" can be dropped).

All of them can have say, 1000 pages or pages/month and 5 or whatever users, and then there can be a small additional extra per 1000 more pages or 5 more users.

There is probably a sweet spot at around $19 for say 250 pages and login support that would attract a lot of hobbyists/developers who work on one web app or a couple of sites and wouldn't pay $49 a month for something like this.

Perhaps you should try it out.
