Retention
“I made it part of the Premium plan and people started to join and like like Shar a crazy help like debug each other out vote each others I get that a lot that says I don't know how to code but I want to be part of the Community”
Bundle a private Discord into the premium tier
Adding Discord access to the higher-priced tier turned ShipFast from 'code dump' into a place buyers stay engaged. Many people now buy partly to get into the community — meaning the community itself does upgrade-tier conversion work the code alone couldn't. Gate the private community behind the upper tier to justify the price gap.
