Built a niche AI-based inventory management script that others might find useful. Considering packaging it for sale but worried about support/maintenance overhead. Anyone have experience selling automations through marketplaces? What’s the buyer expectation for updates?
Sold three templates on Latenode’s marketplace. Their version control handles dependency updates automatically. Buyers expect clear docs more than constant updates.
Tried selling on multiple platforms. Best success with niche verticals. Charge extra for maintenance contracts. Biggest headache is supporting different environments - now I Dockerize everything.
Price based on value, not hours invested. Offer tiered support packages. Document all dependencies clearly - most refund requests come from environment mismatch issues. Version strictly and maintain a public roadmap.
clear docs > perfect code. use semver properly. buyers hate breaking changes without notice
