Really nicely designed. I initially thought it was a tool for newsletter publishers but the step-by-step explained it well.

The pricing does seem a little steep in terms of the number of conversions per month. At the low end (basic, monthly) it's $0.90 per conversion, but even on yearly essential it's $0.66

The main call-to-action button says 'Start listening - it's free!' but then the pricing details don't include any information about a free tier or trial

It looks like you need to listen via the website, is that true? Ideally I'd get a private RSS feed (options for one per newsletter or a combined feed) that I could use in whatever podcast app I wanted



Hey Matt!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such detailed and thoughtful feedback.

Design & Clarity: I’m glad the step-by-step guide helped clarify Podletter’s purpose. I’ll strive for even clearer initial communication, and maybe change the hero section. What do you think?

Pricing: Your point about the pricing resonates with me. I’m actively reviewing our pricing structure to ensure it aligns better with the value we offer and is accessible.

Free Tier: The 'Start listening - it's free!' CTA should indeed be clearer. I’ll make sure to update the pricing details to better communicate any free tier or trial availability. Maybe create a Free Trial card?

Listening Options: The suggestion for private RSS feeds is great. I’m looking into adding this feature for enhanced usability and flexibility.

Thanks again for everything :)
