I’m a solo founder building an AI app builder that lets people generate web apps and websites from a prompt, then visually edit the output.

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?
