I'm unsure of what your purpose is with this post - if you want to compete because you think it is a good business - costs << price - go for it.

I actually just might do that! Wanted to point out to other people who may have been thinking of taking this idea and undercutting on price that the infra most likely doesn't cost anywhere near as much. Given that "infrastructure costs" were cited as a reason for this specific price point, I don't think my comment was unreasonable.

Also, I am genuinely curious to know more about the OP's costs, which is why I asked them for more info.

I run Telepost on Google Cloud, it costs me $70/mo - http://i.ncrp.co/1H3g0k2V402e.

I also pay for the certificate, $100/year. Let's Encrypt is also used, but for custom domains.

But that's not the point. I don't explain price with infrastructure costs but rather explain why I can't be like Netflix and ask $10/mo. That was a mistake on my part to mention it at all.
