Ask HN: My AI app builder has users, not buyers – why?

Once the page has been generated where can I host it? The answer will influence your target audience.
And then on pricing what does a credit get me in terms of something tangible - a page, 5 pages?
And for the target audience do they know which model is better? And if so why is it better to use your site than just direct prompt?
Thanks for the feedback
Why it is better to use Zolly is simple. We provide you with Visual Editor. Where you can drag n drop images, click to edit text, click to add link.
On other AI builders you need to give prompt to even change a basic text which will eventually eat up your credits but with Zolly AI builds your website and You design it.
People are signing up. They’re building things. Usage looks healthy.
But almost no one converts to paid.
I’m trying to understand what’s actually stopping people from paying in cases like this.
Is it trust in AI-generated code? Fear of using it in production? Too much value in the free tier? Or the tool feeling useful but not yet “mission critical”?
For those who’ve built or paid for similar tools: What finally pushed you to upgrade — or what kept you from doing it?
I posted here to learn how others ran those conversations and what signs helped them tell casual interest apart from real intent to buy.
And few of my early users replied.
They were like " We got almost everything for free from building application to edit and then download or publish everything for free" Why would we upgrade to a paid plan.
Honestly I planned it to keep Starter but it was only for a week. So thought for better understanding to change it to weekly.
But the feedback noted it would be better I guess to change it to Starter from Weekly
