Sure, no problem. I'd honestly be more inclined to pay on a quarterly basis, and I think my threshold for something like this is probably around $4/month. If it were me, I'd eliminate the free plan (or take it down to one domain). Also, at $4/month, I wouldn't care whether it was ad-supported, so that's another potential revenue stream.

Thanks for this. Hadn't actually considered a quarterly charge. That's a good idea. Low monthly charges start to get difficult with per transaction standard fees (like paypal).

One more quick question. Are you acting as an individual i.e. freelancer, or agency? I don't think an agency would mind paying $12/month if they had a few hundred domains, so perhaps the domain limits are off and it would be better like this:

Professional - $5/month - 100 domains

Agency - $12/month - 500 domains

Max - $30/month - 2000 domains (can't see much demand for this plan)

I agree the free plan doesn't seem to make much sense. A better option would be to give a free trial period on the paid plans e.g. 7 days.

Agreed. I'm a one-man shop.

Thanks for all your input - new pricing plans up at http://getflaregun.com/plans

Plans feels more suitable now. Getting rid of the free account feels the right move. If anyone is interested they should be willing to 'gamble' $5. I can't see many free -> paid upgrades happening so it is probably easiest to cut it out (less support, coding etc).

If you click on signup there is a form to get a one time email when Flaregun launches (it is currently in development).
