That's the price for individuals. Cheapest teams price is $144/user/year.
And besides "$60/yr is nothing" is not how people decide whether to buy something. There are thousands of products we can buy that are worth more than the price.
The pricing is IMO going to hold back adoption of this product. There's a free plan, but with 3 boards and 50 cards, that's just a quick demo. There's no way you could do anything serious with that. It's not even enough to seriously try out the product.
Then it jumps to $60 a year. I know the standard line about a cup of coffee, blah blah. That's a lot of money for most folks in a very crowded space. (I won't comment on product differentiation.) For someone that uses this heavily, I'm sure $60/year is a great deal. Very few people will, and they'll just move on.
In my opinion, for this to have any chance of catching on, it needs either a real free tier, or a low-price tier of maybe $20/year. Storage is a great way to differentiate tiers because everyone knows storage costs money. 100 boards and 10,000 cards plus 200 MB of storage for the free plan, upgrade to 5 GB of storage for $20/year, or get the current basic plan for $60/year.
As someone that has evaluated many products in this space, I really think you need to reconsider your pricing. You're using the wrong mindset if you expect someone to drop $60 to try out your product.
