Hey,
thank you!
I get where you are coming from but here is how I'm justifying it:
Each report generated by a user costs me $0,03-$0,1 which adds up quickly, especially when having untargeted traffic (like HN).
If my product was based around a subscription, I could see myself offering the whole report thing for free as bait, but that's not the case (at the moment). The whole product is the report, and it's the only thing.
The “I’m going broke, time to pay” tactic sounds great and will be used, but unless I make some changes (any suggestions??) it's not suitable for now, I don't think.
