ScrapValue
Know your scrap value before you sell
About
ScrapValue is a practical scrap metal calculator and load tracker for scrappers, contractors, homeowners, recyclers, and anyone preparing a load for the yard. Choose a metal grade, enter the weight in pounds or kilograms, and use a configured price or a local yard quote to estimate the load's potential payout before making the trip. Users can build mixed-material loads, save runs, track sales, keep notes about yards, compare their own quoted prices, create custom material grades, and export professional records. The core calculator is free to download on iPhone and Android. A one-time ScrapValue Pro upgrade adds local yard pricing, expanded records, exports, custom materials, and private device backup tools. ScrapValue is designed for fast planning in the field and clearly labels estimates: actual yard grades, scale weights, deductions, policies, prices, and payouts can differ. It does not claim that reference prices are live local quotes.

Don't defer monetization — charge early and reinvest revenue into product quality
Shawn consistently advises early-stage founders to stop treating monetization as something to earn later. Revenue is the fuel for building a better product — charging users early creates a virtuous cycle where investment back into experience keeps subscribers. The reluctance to charge is usually a founder bias, not a user one.
I personally offer purchasing power parity pricing for almost all my products which adjusts the prices based on the financial stability and purchasing power in a country compared to where it's being sold from and this method helps people afford your product who otherwise couldn't
Default to purchasing-power-parity pricing
Set PPP pricing across your entire catalog, not just the flagship — auto-adjust checkout prices to the buyer's country relative to your home market. The per-sale revenue dip is more than offset by the volume of buyers who simply couldn't transact at the flat price. Use a Gumroad/Lemon Squeezy-style PPP plugin, set it once, and forget it.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
