Thank you for checking it out and for your feedback!

An initial thought I had was to look at it as being akin to an insurance policy of sorts and that's what sort of led me down the recurring revenue path. Definitely will consider one-time fees for the future! Thanks again!

Those types of insurance polices payout on an event, so a monthly premium makes sense as nobody can afford to pay it upfront.

I'd say your service is the internet version of someone creating their will, and leaving it with a friend or family member, which are all one-off costs.

Definitely. It'll be interesting for me to balance my recurring costs while matching with consumer ideals. To be continued...
