Free competitors can lose money longer than you. Do not race them there.

1. Alma — market the narrow job they ignore

Slideshows for that slice, not for "like the big app, but ours." $29/month for 500 slides, or $199/month with no cap.

2. A price on the slice

One profession, one constraint, one export they lock behind a sales call. People who want free stay with the giant.

3. One purchase, if you are a tool

Not a subscription costume on a flashlight.

4. A higher price than feels polite

Compared with their hour, not with a free download. Ten people with the job can tell you if it is absurd. The giant's price cannot.
