Pricing Strategy

Launch (Early Adopters):

  • Monthly: $3/mo (locked in forever)
  • Annual: $30/yr (2 months free)

Regular (After Launch):

  • Monthly: $5/mo
  • Annual: $50/yr (2 months free)

Grandfathering

Polar handles automatically:

  1. Create products at launch price
  2. After launch period, update prices in Polar dashboard
  3. Existing subscribers keep original price forever

Pro Features

  • Store notification events in notification_history table
  • GET /notifications/history endpoint (Pro only)

Database Schema

// packages/database/src/schema/user-limits.ts
export const userLimits = pgTable("user_limits", {
  userId: text().primaryKey().references(() => users.id, { onDelete: "cascade" }),
  tier: text().default("free").notNull(), // 'free' | 'pro'
  aiSummariesUsed: integer().default(0).notNull(),
  aiSummariesResetAt: timestamp(), // Reset monthly
});

Limit Enforcement

const TIER_LIMITS = {
  free: { maxRepos: 25, maxAiSummaries: 25, maxWebhooks: 1 },
  pro: { maxRepos: Infinity, maxAiSummaries: Infinity, maxWebhooks: 5 },
};

  • POST /repos - Check repo count vs tier limit
  • POST /webhooks - Check webhook count vs tier limit
  • AI analysis in workflow - Check monthly AI summary usage
