A balance between product development and user engagement is key. Monetize once the product has proven value and a steady user base, but also ensure it’s refined enough to justify the cost for users.

If you start monetizing too soon, you might lose potential users who are still getting used to the product. It's important to offer enough time for users to build trust before asking for payment, especially if you're still gathering feedback to be honest. So...not at the MVP stage at least.

You gotta test the waters. Do a freemium model – keep the basic stuff free, but charge for the premium features once people are hooked. Works for Spotify, works for you

If you want blunt advice – monetize as soon as people are addicted to your product. If users see value and can't imagine their life without it, that’s the sweet spot.

Once you have user base and something USP to provide

You can offer it free for a short time to get feedback and early traction, but always have a plan for monetization.

ASAP. Sooner the better. The faster you make your user adaptive to "pay for something" the easier it gets in future.

A product should be monetized when it has a solid user base that finds value in it, ensuring that users are willing to pay. Waiting too long can result in missed opportunities, but monetizing too early may drive users away so there's no perfect timing, look at the data and take a gut call.
