I'm going to second this and say that besides micro-transactions and apps, pricing at $1 is essentially signaling to the user that the product is near worthless. Its hard to imagine a product I would actively go out of the way to pay for that would cost $1 per month.
To me $1 per month signals that I should be looking for a free alternative or that it is an introductory rate that will increase later on. Gaming companies go out of their way to implement micro-transactions that are priced that low in another currency for a reason: it signals higher value to the user to spend "more". I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but this is a topic that has been covered time and time again on HN, and if you search you can find plenty of discussions around charging higher SaaS prices being more effective on almost all fronts.
