I thoroughly understand scouring the Internet for free stuff before even contemplating paying; I tried on the order of 50 free and paid list apps before deciding to build Atombox. I didn't find one I liked, so I built one that I do -- one that I would pay for.
We are not dead-set on any one way to make revenue. We have some other ideas, but we decided to try the subscription bit.
There are countless free and paid list apps out there already. Many of them overdo it on the features, don't use SSL, don't have keyboard shortcuts, and so on. We've tried to take out everything that isn't absolutely necessary and we will give you one-on-one support.
I don't mind if all the others make money too -- all I need is enough revenue to pay myself and my co-founder salary and pay for the servers.
