(copying my response from the daily beemail)
Yes, 4$ per month is a very small amount for a continuous user and beyond well deserved for the service you get back. Yes, the “beeminder should be free” rule is slightly disturbed by the limit on goals. Still we have to face that above all the service needs to continue to exist. In order to make this change more smooth I think you need to give people more options. Some people don’t like subscriptions so give them ways to pay for one time improvements to what they can do. I already posted in the thread about bringing back the “$1 for 10 goals” feature. The numbers can be different of course. One time payments can also act a gateway drug to a subscription…
