I am one of those Google Inbox refugees and this definitely piques my interest. The pricing does not really make sense for personal user ($9/mo for a email client).

Could you elaborate on the free plan 90 day limit? If I snooze an email for 100 days, will I ever see it? Please try to convince me that this limit will not be annoying enough that I should take the risk of linking my Gmail account.

I am curious why you think that $9/m does not make sense. Is that too much, or too little, and why for either case?
I've spent $0 on email clients the last 20 years I've been using email. At $9/mo, if I used this service, I would have spent $2,160 on an email client.

If I imagine a scenario where someone tells me they can turn GMail into Google Inbox, I would consider a one-time $20 a fair price and could maybe be stretched to $60 with some convincing.

Your email will still come back, and you'll see it in your inbox, but you won't see it in search results. And emails from more than 90 days before you signed up won't be imported.
I think the problem is that when you need to search for an email, you really need to know if you got anything or not. And for most of us, we can't wade through the 100s of emails we get a day. So this would really cut me off from my old email, which I think is a showstopper. Otherwise, it looks nice and interesting.
