I think this is death for small developers. How many "easy monthly payments" do people want to deal with?

Also, people will be comparing subscription prices to Microsoft et al. If I am paying ~$7 per month for an Office 365 subscription[1] that comes with Office, 1TB OneDrive space, Skype minutes, etc., $4 for some small utility would be overpriced.

[1] I actually pay far less, since I can use the academic version.

How many Dropbox customers went to that model for free, even though OneDrive is a garbage product in comparison?
