I think 37Signals is certainly the gold standard but I don't think I'm going to follow it for my yet-to-be-released project. They have about 5 or 6 tiers for each app and to be honest I really hate that for the following reasons: 1. because it just seems overly complicated for the user and 2. it seems like a pain in the arse to manage on the backend It seems to work for them though and people are used to this method of tiered monthly payment plans. I kind of prefer the Google apps model myself but then again Google is ginormous and doesn't need to price google apps to make profit so I'm suspicious of that. Google apps has 2 versions, free and pro. The pro is $50/user/year and they have no tiers. Nice and simple.
