I tend to have... Opinions... about project and task management software. I'll be happy to give it a go and pass on any thoughts/suggestions/problems that I have through the 'feedback' option.

How would you be monetising this? A 'per seat' option, a 'per project' option, or some other way? What are you thinking of charging?

#EDIT: Also, who do you see as your main competition in this field? Who are you gunning for? What frustrations with other software/solutions drove you to build this?

Our main competition is probably 37signals' Basecamp (and their upcoming Basecamp Next). They really do the best job selling to small businesses, especially businesses that do client-based work.

There's a surprisingly small amount of quality software that caters to this market. And virtually none of it does a good job with mobile, or with integration into other services that people commonly use for work.

Our plans -- once finalized -- will probably range from $25-$100/month.

Within the workspace right now you can view the paying options. We are going to be charging per project, and for space. And possibly for one or two higher value features.

Does that make sense? Interested to hear your feedback.

Yeah, I stumbled on to the payment plans. I'm not certain about the price points you've set there - it would ultimately depend on who your target audience is, and if they would be willing to pay $1200/year for 70GB storage and your current feature set (and branding, I guess).

It looks like you're trying to go after basecamp here - everything (interface wise) is as simple as possible, but it adds conversation and extra description to todos, which is an improvement over what they do.
