Ask HN: Should my start-up pivot?

Over the past few years, I've written about 60 small Facebook applications -- mostly having to do with enhancing productivity -- and recently, I gathered the 10 most useful and packaged them in a bundle:

Although the apps should appeal to just about anybody, they would likely have special appeal to people who manage Facebook Pages (e.g. small-business owners who are trying to market themselves).

It strikes me that I might also be able to charge this segment more than I would the general population -- but if I were to pivot and market the apps specifically to this segment, I'm not sure the price premium would offset the smaller pool of potential customers.

What do you think?

Would I have better luck with the status quo, where I'm targeting all Facebook users, or should I pivot?
