This is an interesting model—somewhat of a variety of the community approach we have in enterprise software but generally not seen in consumer level COTs software. Community approaches usually involve some sort of community governance to gain consensus on features. Are you thinking of a “user council” that customers could buy into?
If I paid, say, $49 for SheetPlanner and needed a specific filter, say, which wasn’t on the road map. And the offer was $300. I’d probably say, thanks, but I’ll get by with what I have. If I knew that if I paid $300 then the next person would get the feature for $0, I’d probably think “I love my fellow hominids, but I just bought that fellow a very generous present. Hmmm”.
So, it’s hard to see this working in practice.
Makes more sense to just have a subscription model and take your chances.
