Awesome idea but the price outweighs the pain factor, for me.

As a counter-point I will say that most of my freelancing clients are perfectly willing to pay that and more, for platforms where a cron that misbehaves has consequences.

I would suggest not to lower the prices :-)

EDIT: I prefer to pay more than $20/mo if this means that your product won't end up being stale and unmaintained.

Well.. What would you pay? We're looking for more conversations with potential users to help us find the right price points.

The prices seem really reasonable and a steal if I was still in an enterprise environment. I'm not maintaining any prod servers right now, but $4.99 would be a sweet spot if I had a few hobby servers on the Internet that I was doing devops for.

Wow, that's extremely low pricing you're looking for. I think the current pricing isn't only fair, but the top end is somewhat low.

I agree with the sentiment of the other comments in that the price issue is only an issue from a single-user perspective and is fine for enterprise.

I agree with you. It's cool, but not 7$ / month, or 20$ /month cool.
