130 installs a year with ~5–15% converting and basically no churn is solid for a dev tool. That tells me the product works and people who use it get it. This feels much more like a “wrong eyeballs” problem than a product or pricing problem.
A couple thoughts that might help:
You might be aiming too broadly at “developers.” The people who really feel this pain are usually platform / infra / DevOps leads — especially teams sharing staging, CI runners, GPUs, test environments, etc. They’re the ones dealing with collisions weekly.
The value isn’t “resource coordination,” it’s avoiding the mess: overwritten envs, broken deploys, Slack arguments about who touched what. That framing tends to spread internally way faster.
Ads are tough here. Most of these tools grow by internal forwarding (“hey, we should use this”) rather than clicks. Communities, word-of-mouth, and very specific infra-heavy teams usually work better.
If it helps, I’m happy to chat or give feedback from the platform/infra angle.
If you’ve ever had two people step on the same environment and cause chaos, you’re exactly who I’d like to talk to — feel free to reply here or DM me.
