Ask HN: Is there a simple Email Capture widget service provider?
What I'm looking for is a way to capture email address on our blog at draftly.so and have them stored in a google spreadsheet. I can then zap them to whatever service I prefer.

I wan on a call with a potential customer, and during the call they asked how we compared to another tool. I had never heard of it. Turns out, this competitor launched a few months ago and was getting attention in the same space.
I tried to learn about them on the spot while on the call, but it didn't go well. The customer didn't sign up, and I realized I need to do a better job of staying updated on new tools in my space.
As a small team, it's hard to keep up. We're busy building and improving Draftly, so tracking every new competitor feels impossible.
Just curious: - How do you find out about new competitors early? - Do you track their features and updates regularly? If yes, how? - Are there tools, platforms, communities that help you stay on top of things?
Would love to hear how others manage this.
We are already listed on most of the FREE directory listing and now I'm exploring paid directories. I came across TAAFT and found it interesting.
Have you listed your AI product on it? If yes, what benefits have you got from it? Would love to hear your learnings and insights.
Thanks in advance.
What I have: Draftly is a tool that help users create content for LinkedIn with the help of AI. Because I use AI, I have fixed cost of creating content using the AI model.

There are three plans that I currently offer.
Plan 1 - this is for people who only post on their individual account. We give 20 credits to create 20 posts / month. This is right fir for someone who publishes one post every weekday.
Plan 2 - this is for someone who posts on their individual account as well as business page. We give 50 credits to create 50 posts/month shared between their individual account and the business page.
Plan 3 - this is for someone who manages their client's business pages. Here we give 100 credits to create upto 100 posts/month across all the pages they manage.

Problems/Issues raised by customers:
- They run out of credits but dont have business page. - 100 credits are not enough since they manage 20+ pages - They want to manage more than 1 page but unable to use 100 credits.
---
What I was thinking:
- Have the first Plan only. - Charge $x for every page they add. Its a small fee. - Allow them to top-up the credits whenever they run out of it. - I'm still brainstorming and need some help/suggestion in coming up with a pricing plan that simple, easy to understand, and win-win for both them and us.
