I've developed a Mac app that's a simple 1 trick pony, aimed at a niche audience (music / video / content producers). It solves a problem I couldn't find any other solution to, and I've been using it myself & have been really pleased with the results.

I've been thinking about putting it up for sale, and given it's a simple app for a niche audience, $0.99 seems like the the reasonable price point. It feels like it wouldn't be good value at a higher price, I don't know if I'd buy it for more than that myself.

At this price point, I'm wondering whether the Mac App Store is worth the cost of admission. I'm not a "proper" developer, I'm just dipping my toe into making apps and want to share 1 simple tool I've made at a price that feels reasonable. I'm questioning whether this app would make back the $99 per year fee.

This is small potatoes for many on HN I know, but I'm interested in any advice anyone might have. Thanks!
