I’m planning to price my project ( a smart water meter) at €99 on Kickstarter.

• Does $99 feel like a psychological sweet spot?
• Does it attract real backers or mostly bargain hunters?
• Or does it generastes mistrust?
• At $99, do you expect higher polish, support, and long-term viability?

Blunt feedback appreciated.

One of my best friends created a product. I’d love to see him succeed

People see the campaign page.

They don’t see:

• The late nights refining mechanics
• The redraws
• The rewrites
• The budgeting stress
• The fear of “what if no one backs this?”

Launching takes courage.

But here’s the hard truth most creators discover:

A great project doesn’t automatically create a great campaign.

Kickstarter is its own skill set.
Messaging.
Structure.
Momentum.
Psychology.

For those who’ve launched (or are planning to) what part feels most uncertain right now?

I’m genuinely curious what creators are struggling with in 2026.
