Pricing or no pricing from the beginning?

Hey everyone, I'm working on a SaaS tailored for the developers (https://webhks.com) and although I have the product itself in place, I'm struggling with promotion and pricing. First and foremost - do you think it's important to have the pricing set up right from the beginning? My idea was to get back to this question once I have at least some active users that would validate the idea, but at the same time I can totally see how missing pricing can spook customers

We went freemium from the start, wanted to get people in the door first. Could argue both ways though.

Charge from the very beginning, unless there is true value in building a loyal user base like Adobe Photoshop did. It's the only way to know if you're building something valuable or something worth paying for. Otherwise, it's just a theory, and your idea is not truly validated. We are launching our marketplace for sign-ups come July 17th and the plan is to charge when we launch on PH in the Fall our full functional marketplace. Follow for updates on our launch happening in 5 days since as first-time founders we are eager for the learnings and feedback.
