Likely no. I think most people here would rather go through the effort of setting up a static page on Netlify or otherwise. Even if your service is top notch, the features you're describing would definitely eventually require an increase in pricing.

Thanks for the feedback. For you, would the social aspect with natural traffic coming in make the price worth it?

Sort of, but since it's on a platform is it really "natural" traffic?
Think about it, why do you think FinancialSamurai was always just a decent looking WordPress page and never a Medium or FaceBook blog?
