I think 10$ for an obvious weekend hack is quite a lot.

obvious weekend hack

But people will pay $300 for a lawyer writing a letter which says, attached to the letter, "This took forty eight minutes to write."

And this is why you should never, never take pricing advice on HN.

[Edit: My conclusion here was excessively strong. Working on a blog post now, because I feel the need to vent a little about this. $10 is not a lot of money. Customers do not pay for how much you appeared to have worked. Argh.]

Only people with money think that 10.00 is not a lot of money. 120.00 a year could be a significant chunk of the target's disposable funds. If don't have money then it might as well be 400.00. On the other hand, 12.00 or 24.00 a year might well be 'not a lot of money'---perception here is based on content of wallet, not your marketing notions. Review history of Borland's C/C++ compiler versus Microsoft's---yes Microsoft won the war, but not without making Borland enormously successful.

The lawyer charges you once. Also, the lawyer charges you alone.

Also, lawyers are overpriced, but that's another story.

Genuinely wondering how my pointing out that monthly subscription fees aren't one-time service fees deserves me downvotes?

It's even more expensive than OmniFocus - $79 for life, and this is $120 for a year.
