I just filled out your questionnaire but I don't think I'll submit it, my thoughts don't really fit into the few fields provided, if I put that $2 is what I'll pay it won't make sense. I don't know if you remember me, but I asked about subscriptions back before you offered them and signed up once they were live. For me historious is something that's neat but something I can go with out, so sure I can afford the $6/m you're charging now but how little I use it makes it really not worth it for me. I've been a member since you posted about it on reddit and I have 166 historified sites, I use it to bookmark interesting sites that I might need in the future, I don't care for RSS feeds or auto-tweeting.
I'll probably cave and go for the $6/m thing, but I don't need any of the features so it feels like I'm paying for something I'll never use. The free package would be fine for me, all I want to do is use it to historify sites and search them. I think you need to find a balance between the features required for users and pricing. It might sound stupid, but to me if you had 2 feature for $6/m and I used them both I'd be more likely to buy than if you had 10 features and I used 2 for $6/m, because the "smart spender" in me thinks "Why pay for 10 features when I only need 2? That's me wasting $4 a month!".
The price doesn't matter to me, I love your service and I'd pay $20 a month if that's what you requested, but when you're selling 6 features and I need 2 it seems poor value for money, and what matters to most is value for money, however silly that is.

The problem is that someone might find that the two features that work for him are different from the ones that work for you, so it's a hard problem :/ The best solution is to have pricing packages, but we don't have a clear hierarchy of things that are more important than others, so it's not very easy there either. Also, aren't you paying $3/mo? The new prices shouldn't affect you, and we sort of ended that experiment and reverted back to the old prices.
