While I sympathize with a company providing a good service and being paid accordingly, $5 a month still seems too high for email.

Email is way more important than Netflix, so you should probably be willing to pay more for email than Netflix. FastMail can get pretty pricy in a multi-user scenario, but as a single account it's a pretty reasonable price.

$5 / month is still pretty close to $0 / month for many people. I transitioned from Gmail -> Fastmail a year ago, and I'm very happy with all aspects (reliability, features etc). Would be fine with paying > $5 month if that's what it took.

It's quite disappointing how skewed our perspective on software pricing is. I grew up in an era when compilers cost $1000; now people complain about $3 for an iPhone game.

Given that a burger cost $5, I'm more than fine with sacrificing a burger each month for private email.

where are you getting a $5 burger??

Culver's in the east, In-n-Out in the west.

For the last several weeks, nowhere.
