What do you do when there's a completely free product that offers all the same features as yours and also has many more users than you?
I have a micro-SaaS Chrome extension, and I noticed that I was having a high uninstall rate, so I set up a system to get feedback from those who uninstall my extension, and most of the uninstallers say they don't want to pay for it. Someone even asked for a refund because he found a free version.
This free extension offers all the same features as mine and also has more than 20k users.
My extension has made me $412 in the past 13 months. Not much, but it has been my first taste of passive income, and I also live in a developing country.
I have thought about adding more features, but I can't think of any added value that new features would bring, so I tried emailing my paying customers, but didn't get a response from them.
