- Bait-and-switch pricing: Lifetime deals become useless as core features move to expensive add-ons. Support disappears after purchase.
Sniper Verdict
“Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue.”
Execution Plan

Build First
- Core WordPress connector that auto-updates with WordPress releases (Critical reliability fix)
- Transparent feature roadmap showing what's included in lifetime vs. future paid add-ons
- Basic app generation with 3 template options (prove reliability first)
Do Not Start With
- Complex agency features like team management (distraction)
- Merge apps functionality (costly, low priority)
- Language selection beyond English (can add later)
