Calling the monthly and yearly pricing different tiers is confusing and not customary. I would just call it Pro and then say "$2/month (yearly, or 3$/month monthly)" or something like that. Check out some other SaaS pricing pages on how they do it :-)

If you want to simplify, you can also just offer the monthly billing option for now, as the $1 difference is not that big anyways and it's less confusing for folks (in general, the less decisions a user needs to make before purchasing the higher the conversion rate).

Good luck, I'll keep on eye on it. For me, a mobile app is a must to switch.

You are so right. Spot on in fact. Thank you for the tip.

I will change that asap. It's too confusing.

Sorry, but there should be a difference of $22 to purchase the yearly plan (which saves $11 - oh I see you meant to type $11 not $1). Yes, perhaps it's not that much of a difference, but it can add up :)

As regards the mobile app, Darwin Mail is currently mobile responsive to it looks and works great on your tablet or mobile. I know it's not the same though. May I ask, why do you prefer a native app over a responsive web app?

Sorry, I meant $1/month difference not per year.

I personally just think mobile apps run smoother and faster than mobile websites, plus in this case notifications are key for me.

For services or products that I ue at least on a weekly basis, I always prefer an app than a website. But maybe that's just me :-)

Thank you for the follow-up. Much appreciated. I can assure you it's not just you btw! I feel the same way :)

Noted. And noted. I will first stabilize the web version and then move onto the apps :)

Cool!

Please check out our public roadmap to track progress on this! https://www.darwinmail.app/feedback.php

Personally: notifications with quick actions, and face ID authentication are both benefits of a native app.

I completely get you. Thanks for the follow-up. Mobile apps are certainly on my todo list. And thanks for adding your use cases to help me understand :)
