How about charging a fee X but reducing it by Y for each consecutive month a person uploads a daily photo, to the point where, if anyone actually uploads 365 photos they get the use the service for free?

Charge $12, but refund $1 for each completed month.

I don't like the idea of ads, but some kind of reward system might become critical to 356's success.

I started sth very similar to this this with a couple of friends one year ago and every single one of us lost interest/motivation/time in the first half of the year :(

Building off of that idea: incorporate ads.

The refunds keep the users coming back, and the ads support your business.

I have no tolerance for products that have ads and I pay for them. Nowadays, a lot of times paying means simple ¨removing¨ ads. This is a product that I can achieve in some ways for free. Why should I both pay for it and experience ads.

No ads please. It will ruin the aesthetics.
