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.
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.]
