is anyone charging $40 or $50 anymore?

a lot of the big boys are now $25

what about $20? $15 and $10

thoughts?

BAKO · 10-29-2009, 02:25 AM

most sites with low priced $1 or free trials re-bill around $35-$40.
most also offer initial monthly memberships around $25...

grumpy · 10-29-2009, 03:57 AM

depends on what you offer? what do you offer?

adult-help · 10-29-2009, 04:06 AM

I dropped the prices for one of my paysites from $29.95 to $24.95. So far just 15 days passed so it's hard to say if it works.

AlphaSky · 10-29-2009, 04:15 AM

$ 29.95 Mega sites w/thousands and thousands of hot pics/vids.
$ 24.95 Rare unique sites (stuff you can't get for free on tube sites)
$ 19.95 Solo girl or Porn Star, really beautiful, w/some hot friends.
$ 14.95 - $ 9.95 Old school mega site w/out dated porn.
Below that, trials and gimmicks.

Just my opinion...

ruff · 10-29-2009, 05:16 AM

I'm dropping my $29.95 a month down to $24.95 and just offering one price with no trials on all of my pay sites now.

dirtymind · 10-29-2009, 05:19 AM

i just uped the price from 16 to 29 as we are running a mega site with thousands of video and images. seems it works great for us people didn't really go for low price, guess they thought it was fishy or anything

sounds about right

NetHorse · 10-29-2009, 06:27 AM

Free duh..

I think $29.95 is the perfect price for a membership given you have an attractive tour and nice join page. You either have super intriguing content or you don't. If they're gonna sign-up they will, IMO, it doesn't matter whether it's $20 or $30.

Very few people "shop" for porn, it's not like, "hey this other site has this exact model that I want to see getting fucked the way I wanna see it for $10 less".

JMO though, I don't promote mainstream porn, only unique fetishes.

I'd agree with that

Martin · 10-29-2009, 08:03 AM

No trials. $24.95 a month.

LotzaDollars · 10-29-2009, 08:12 AM

I made the change from $24.95 to $29.95 and saw zero drop in sales. I ran that for 90 days, then I upped it again to $34.95 and I did see a dip in sales after another 90 days. Switched it back to $29.95 and have left it there.

spankmo · 10-29-2009, 08:22 AM

can someone tell me why gay sites are charged higher ? other than profit ?

Because gay men will pay it.

They also tend to have more disposable income than straight men with families. Especially the ones who have to hide it from the wifey.

And the ones who are on the DL will pay to get something they like/want because it's a quick, reliable source. I think they don't always have time to be searching around on the family computer for gay porn or want to risk saving it on the hard drive.

Bman · 10-29-2009, 08:43 AM

I think the 19.95 to 29.95 depending on what type of site. $40 is a little high these days.

Wrong move...If you're gonna drop the price, drop it to $19.95......I'd change it back to $29.95 and fast.

Well said.

I would never consider less that $29/34 on my mega porn sites. I am actually looking to raise that.

In the past on new start ups, I may charge 14/19 to start out, but the prices keeps going up as there is more content. By end of first year, it is up to $24, and by 2 years, $29.

If you think the price is the issue, you are chasing your tail. You need better content.

Yep. Same here. That has always been the thread.

Plus I have people willing to pay $34.95 just not to be rebilled, one time sign up. Versus $29.95 recurring, or signing up that way and canceling immediately.

If you have quality converting content. People will pay for it regardless of price.

After Shock Media · 10-29-2009, 11:19 AM

naturally you charge 19.64 for the membership, plus 3.88 and 2.04 for the two prechecked cross sales that both 30 minute renew at 29.34 and 58.94. Which both have billing descriptors as Service station and Gasmart.
All get you access to the same site though with different front ends and timed release content on rotation. So technically you do not see the same material on each sites unless you wait long enough.

andrej_NDC · 10-29-2009, 11:34 AM

The higher the price, the better the rebills...don't ask my why...I tried all prices, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...the retention number was the smallest on 10 or 15 memberships and then was going up, so I had the best rebills on 35. Price has nothing to do with quality of the content either, its just the marketing that matters...some can't sell super unique content for 5 bucks, some can sell shitty one for 40.

Cutty · 10-29-2009, 11:46 AM

blah blah blah blah blah

pornpf69 · 10-29-2009, 11:48 AM

anything that costs less than $1 per day is OK for me... but anything that costs less than $20 per month is TOO CHEAP...

Pornopat · 10-30-2009, 05:06 AM

$20 here but working up to an endprice of $30 when there are sufficient episodes.

which "big boys" are charging $25 ?

That's kind of like what I went through with MRPW. We charge $29.95 for recurring; $34.95 for a one-time membership. But this grants you access to the entire network (17+ sites). I experimented with differant price points - dropping the price to $24.95 - and saw ZERO change in sales, even when I bumped it back up to $29.95. When I raised it to $34.95 sales dipped. So i think the 'sweet spot' is $29.95. At least for me. LOL

potter · 10-30-2009, 03:03 PM

There are only a handful of websites out there right now doing their pricing the right way. I'm not going to say more than that because it's better the competition has their heads up their ass.

Altheon · 10-30-2009, 04:09 PM

I always thought the less elastic the demand for the site the easier it was to hold the line.

I'd be surprised if any niche site would have to lower pricing. Depending on quality I'd bet they could even charge a premium.

I did the same a couple months ago, conversion rates are nearly the same.

The reason big boys drop to $24 is to get the CC# and bang em out on all the crosses and upgrades on the next few screens after the join.

Also remember that charging European customers in Euros will be met with very little outcry, even though 29.95 EUR is a whopping $44.

i charge 29.99/month recurring for access to both my sites.
if they want one month non recurring its 37.49/month
