My podcast was on a small host like yours once when we started out and we ended up costing them a lot of cash because we had many many more downloads than typical podcasts. I'm guessing the economics of services like this mimic globo gyms. The # of accts level out the cost.

Yep. If you’re a SaaS, I don’t see why you charge based on Num of downloads, and not by some metric or set of features that matter for brand-sized podcasts.

They didn't charge by # of downloads, sorry if that wasn't clear. We we're on the same plan that folks with 10 downloads a month would get when we were 1000x that.

Oh, okay. I see. They were pricing like a SaaS, not like a hosting company. For example…

I initially tested pricing MastermindJam v2 like a SaaS, but I quickly learned it’s not. Its just not a SaaS. Sure, it’s got tons of tech, but who cares. …

It’s really a membership site with hosting costs (cost of video hosting). But the margins for hosting companies isn’t great. So to be able charge like a membership site and level the video costs out…

I simply removed the option of recording and archiving the WebRTC streams from every mastermind group video call…

which lowered my unit economics from ~$15/meeting to ~<$4 meeting. Now I’ve got room to price like a typical membership w/o worrying a flurry of meetings in a particular month could turn profitability upside down. But I still can’t model SaaS pricing.

Because it’s not a SaaS. Some high technology-laden web businesses, like mine, just aren’t a SaaS.

And I’m positive this isn’t just a semantic debate. There are real consequences for pursuing the wrong model.

I understand what you're saying. Our aim from the beginning at Transistor, was to provide more value through features, not "more downloads." I think we'll keep downloads on the pricing chart for awhile (maybe forever), but that won't be the main focus in the future.

What I'm saying is a word of caution - our podcast ended up costing the company A LOT because the unit economics didnt make sense. So we were paying for x but our cost was x*100. Just wondering how you're planning on that.

I hate twitter for this reason: all nuance gets lost as the conversations splinter. I’m not advocating for not charging by downloads. If it’s a cost that puts the business at risk, you must charge by downloads.
