Builder Lesson
Offer a low-friction, pay-per-output option for core features to capture users hesitant about subscriptions.
Full Reasoning
Wins by attacking the resume builder market with an AI wedge that preserves user voice and passes ATS, differentiating from generic tools. The asymmetric bet is the $5 one-time export fee, a low-friction entry point that bypasses subscription anxiety. Other builders: consider hybrid pricing to capture users who need occasional use but shy away from recurring fees.
