Question About Subscription Pricing
🕑 Added 2025-03-19 04:42:13 +0000 UTCJust a quick survey about this, and I hope everyone here can give their honest opinion and answers. Eventually the pricing might either get changed or remain unchanged.
What does everyone think about the current Subscription Pricing? Is it affordable to everyone, or is it too expensive? Right now I have 1 FREE Subscription Tier and 3 Subscription Tier which cost 3$, 5$, and 10$.
As you might know, I don't like to make my AI Contents to be paywalled because I have to post them at Pixiv and Reddit. However the 3$ Subscription Tier has a problem...
In my 3$ Subscription Tier It says:
General Support: Thank you for the Support!
NSFW AI Contents: Access to Full-sized, HD, and Uncensored Version of my AI Contents!
Extras AI Contents: Some posts might include unused/scrapped AI Images that doesn't make it into my works!
Downloadable ZIP-Files: All my posts include a Downloadable Zip-Files!
Meanwhile, my Free Subscription Tier literally provides everyone with NSFW AI Contents, Extras AI Contents, and Downloadable ZIP-Files for absolutely FREE which I didn't even notice until now.
Like I said at above before, I really really want to know your honest opinion and answers about this. I got 2 questions in mind, which is:
Is it fine for me to completely stop posting FREE AI Contents and charge everyone with 3$ to access everything that the 3$ Subscription Tier provides?
Is my Subscription Tier affordable for everyone? Or is it still consider too expensive? I know some country's money conversion rate is very high like where I live. Most other AI Content Creator charged their members with 5$ above and more for Custom Requests, I'm trying to lower the price to what I have right now.
Let me be clear, I'm not trying to be greedy about this. I'm actually very fine with how much I earn every month. However having 1.3K Total Members and only 140 Paid Members while the other AI Content Creators out there who have lower the amount of Total Members than me, but double or triple amount of Paid Members I have right now is pretty confusing and weird to me.
Below there is 4 voting option, first and second are question about affordability, third and fourth are question about removing FREE stuff and everything is locked behind 3$ Subscription Tier.
So help me out, vote and comments down below to let me know as soon as possible. Your honest opinions and answers is very important to me!

S.O.B
See, there is always an option to "Join for Free" on patreon. Even creators with very expensive and no free tiers have it. So even if $3, you should separate it from the free variant. Maybe free tier could include some unused images, polls or some testings if you were to be doing. As for what changes to the $3 one, completely upto you. On a side note, an appreciator of your work.

The way I see it, the 3$ tier is primarily to support you

What I could propose is that you keep your Tier free, so that people who are curious about your work and go to your profile to check it out can see your work. But my proposal is the following: You upload small teasers, they could be like 5 or 8 images, and in another publication upload the complete set

$3 is chump change for me bc I follow a bunch of artists on this site. I'm mid tier on a good amount and most are at low tier for posts. If I could pick more than 1 option for this it'd be the first and third ones.

Oh yeah maybe I could keep Free Subscription Tier for Announcing Posts, Sneakpeeks etc.

I myself keep my stuff very cheap so I’m not the best one to judge. I’d say price your stuff how you feel. I make some free content for people but that’s just me. Also where do you go to post on Reddit ? Could use a sub where I’m free to post my content as much as I want.

I think you should still keep the free tier around to use for announcement posts like this. For content separation you could have occasional select content posted on the free tier to incentivize joining a higher tier. Or teaser images of larger sequences or comics. The other good incentive is timegating the content. Pay a little bit of money to see the content weeks in not months in advance of the public. Some people will pay for the convenience.
