The website says it's a free service. How did you earn $20k? What do subscribers pay for?

They're essentially paying for the ability to customize their email address, set up incoming whitelists/blacklists (so someone with your address can't fill up your Dropbox overnight), as well as expedited email support.

What do you charge subscribers? Is there more than one tier?

Thanks!

Single tier - $3 a month or $29 a year
