Hey Adam!

That is a great question. We are new and want to find those folks that are willing to pay 2-10 times more than the competitors. Most all of our competitors are free for 2-12 months hoping to lock you in. It is very counter-intuitive, but our first 20 paying customers have such a real pain point that are not being met, then even knowing that there are cheaper alternatives, they turn to us.

We do offer 50% off of that rate for hacker news ($49 a month). We will decrease our price over time as we really understand more about our customers, their problems, and make onboarding super simple.

Having said all of that, reach out at robert (a-t..) rownd.io and if you are willing to give us feedback I'll find a price to make it work.
