Good post - pricing is so very critical (although I do agree with others here that three weeks is such a _very_ short timeframe). It's interesting to think about pricing from a "what's my per-user cost so I can reasonably bootstrap this myself", but it's usually more reasonable (and profitable) to think about it the other way around - "what value am i providing to my user?".

The book "The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" was a real eye opener for me as I don't come from a business background. The crux is that don't think about it in terms of costs, but how much value (e.g., time saved, leads generated, etc) you are providing and if the price is worth it from the user's perspective.
