I love the pricing scheme. Most web based services start at several dollars a month (probably because of card processing fees) or an expensive yearly signup. For a simple task app like this, I would not pay several dollars a month and a yearly lump sum would be 'risky'.
I know the service provider is probably paying a huge % of card processing fees though. I wonder if there is a service that would handle 'subscription micro-payments' for cheap services like this (eg. combine all your micro-payments onto one bill to save fees)?
- aioprisan 14y agoWe're not fans of paying several dollars per month for a task management service either. Do 14-30 day free to paying trials work? That's out #1 plan for now. We find the $9.99/year price point attractive, with $0.99/month it's not worth it and we'd rather give the service away for free. There are micro-payment processors out there but we're looking at overall cost and strategy when looking at pricing plans/feature set we'd like to make available at each price level, and really love the simplicity of Stripe for payments.
- al_james 14y agoFor me, trials only work if the price point at the end of the trial is attractive. Personally I would probably be more likely to sign up at $1.50/month than $9.99 / year.... I know its crazy, but it just seems less risk. I really think you should keep the low monthly cost option.
