I respectfully call this a ridiculous proposition. How is $10/mo expensive for this, or for anything in life? It seems to me Flow pricing is learning a valuable lesson from MobileMe: if it's useful, people will pay.

Are you a Flow or MobileMe customer? I'm genuinely curious and want to know why you'd pay for these.

  I'm not a Flow customer, but if it solves a problem for me I may signup (I gave up on Things, just started using Wunderlist, but delegating/collaborating are very useful features I've wished for...) I pay for MobileMe b/c it gives me true over-the-air contact/calendar sync on my iPhone. If another solution came around, I might consider it, but could it be free? And if not free, less than $10/mo? I also pay for Flickr for purely personal use, b/c I want to be able to share my photos and let my friends/family download full-res files.

    You, Sir, truly are a rare gem, the kind common web app developers can only dream of.

    You can "over-the-air contact/calendar sync on my iPhone" etc. with the FREE Gmail also. Yes, you can set it to have push & notifications too...

I don't think the argument is whether or not the product is worth 10$, but whether or not people will think it's worth it, and pay. I don't think 14 days is enough time for a product like this to become indispensable to me, and for 120$/year it needs to be. 120$ buys a lot of egg salad sandwiches.

Would you pay $1000/month for the top 100 personal (not business related) sites that you visit in a given month? If you're using it to help generate income, then it's a tiny price to pay. But the demo video shows "planning a party" as a use case and that can be done almost as effectively for $0 using email.

How is $10/mo expensive for this, or for anything in life? That's where the disconnect is. You seem to think that $10/mo is not expensive for anything in life. I respectfully disagree. There are probably an infinite number of things for which $10/mo is too expensive, independent of how much money you actually have. Would you pay me $10/mo to have me send you a random Mark Twain quote as a push notification to your device every day? I'm not trying to nitpick - only pointing out that your worldview and ideas of what you would pay for don't match that of many/most people. It seems to me Flow pricing is learning a valuable lesson from MobileMe Not sure that MobileMe is the best example of this lesson.
