4.99/month for unlimited snips isn't exactly onerous. Grad students are known to be able to afford Netflix and Spotify.

If grad students in relevant fields aren't one of the main target markets for this kind of product, where do you think they're going to make their money?

Do you think 100 free Snips per month would be better? We're thinking about how to do a student plan.

How are they supposed to pay themselves in that case? It’s an incredible service.

Grad students will just just maple/mathematica to directly generate latex from an expression.

Which grad students? In CS the use of these is long gone (at least in the two departments I’ve been in). I wonder how prevalent they still are in physics.

But I’m pretty damn sure that physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists all just type their equations straight into latex unless it’s a super complicated computer generated formula, which you don’t typically write in papers..
