When I clicked the link, there was an HN special for $9.99/mo. I thought to myself "that's a little expensive for making 2 phone calls a month, but what the heck, maybe the surprise will be fun." I went to sign up, got through to the credit card phase, and now the price is $19.99.
On top of the feel of bait and switch (although I know this was certainly just a bug), that price feels insane. This is a potentially fun idea to me, or at least certainly something I'd be willing to try for a month, but to be blunt, I think that price point is ludicrous.
- dko 12y agoSorry you experienced that! We just discovered a bug that didn't persist the offer to the end in a minority of cases, and it's now been fixed. And thanks for your feedback about our prices. Our price at launch is actually derived from other services in the reservations space (ie Table8, TableSaavy), but we're always evaluating our price point.
- mmcclure 12y agoCool! Thanks for reaching out via email, I appreciate the effort. I'll definitely give this a shot at the discounted price. I really do like the idea, I just don't think I'd be willing to pay the (current) full cost. Who knows though, maybe I'll sing a different tune after a few reservations.
