Thanks for all the feedback so far. For context, I'm looking at this plan ($25/month) as a business plan, so non-technical businesses can get a blog / site / newsletter out at an affordable price. Once I build the dashboard and fully automate blog creation, and maybe get a discount on CDN, I want to do personal blog hosting at $5 a month. Will maybe limit to 3 writers and ask you to manage your own backups. If anyone wants this plan let me know, I can set you up right now along with the businesses.

I think you should consider a three-tier pricing plan. $25 is only slightly undercutting ghost.org in dollar terms and also targets the cheapest customers (who are the biggest pain in the ass and tie up the most of your employee resources). Chasing the bottom-feeder market is at best mildly profitable (unless you scale big), but always highly stressful and requires a very disciplined and thick-skinned team.

  My perspective on this is a little different — $25 is low-end for the people who currently pay for Ghost, but my environment (India) lower rung than that. So I'm not actually targeting the bottom of the developed world, I'm targeting the top of the developing world, if that makes sense. This price point gives me a healthy margin, and it opens up publication opportunities to the worldwide Fortune-5,000,000. It allows the 20-person agencies in developing countries to set up a Ghost blog without thinking twice, both for themselves and their customers. That isn't happening with the current official Ghost pricing.
