Yeah, that's interesting. As you say, the pricing was based on looking at the numbers of signups per month for SaaS startups. How to make that work for non SaaS startups, I'm not yet sure.

The pricing is based on the number of signups per month, so that's 1000 new users per month. Do you feel like that pricing wouldn't work for your situation?

The home page has lost a lot of noise. I think they've done a good job of identifying the main reasons people would ever end up at the home page: sign in, sign up or search. The sign up and sign in forms used to be a click away. I think the

You need to figure out what is important to you right now. How much does the money mean to you? Do you need to have higher, more stable income? Can you live with a slightly lower income for a couple of years? Are the benefits a deal-breaker
