It seems to me that Beeminder has put a ton of thought and effort into the experience that triggers a penalty with the user always in control. I see this as much more flexible than the non zero day app. It also appears that beeminder has a freemium offering and this payment/penalty is a feature more than the whole point. In other words, I see the charges on beeminder to be similar to paying for extra lives on candy crush as a one time in app purchase... as opposed to model that the pricing gimmick is basically the core offering.

Edit: cool app btw, gonna give it a try :)

Hooray! New user! :) Our biggest issue right now is that we've gone so far down the rabbit hole with our hardcore superfans that it's a little overwhelming for newbees (as we call them; our 2nd biggest issue is our obsession with bee puns).

So we'd be super grateful to hear about things you find confusing/frustrating/offputting as you try setting up some goals.

Thanks again for trying us out!

I am a very happy beeminder, but for me it wouldn't be nearly as useful if money wasn't on the line - I have now been more than a year in the inn in Habitica for example - even though I never have had to actually pay them money.
