competing products

competitive advantage

monitization strategy

There are multiple routes to go here:

  1. freemium app with ads, pay to get ads removed and add some features like evernote sharing
  2. the full functionallity of the extension is free. There are only ads on the page where you put a recipe url in to get parsed. You can also pay to have ads removed here. Also have a donate option

The main difference is that option 2 focuses on providing a solid ad free experience. This sharpens our competitive advantage of being a site that displays recipes without any ads.
