The problem is $9/mo is way too much for something like this unless you are using it heavily.

^^ This the kind of user you don't want. Someone who uses your service but thinks you're charging too much. You have to ignore customers like this who demand that you charge something that won't feed your employees, because there will be enough customers that will pay what you want, or you just don't have product market fit.
And with that logic you will be stuck at a small size because if you ever want to go after a larger audience you will have to cut prices to your existing customers which will be hard after you get fat and happy by over-charging.
