Great point, definitely need to add the pricing to our website! And no, we're not an open source app. In terms of pricing, we have a Free tier and a $10/month "Journal Plus" tier. Currently the differences between Free vs. Journal Plus are: 1. number of app integrations (2 vs. unlimited) 2. amount of data synchronized from those apps (last 14 days vs. years) 3. file size upload limit (10MB vs. unlimited)

One commitment I can make is that we'll never monetize off of your data or by dumping algorithmic ads on you. So, to do that, we're creating a subscription scheme that allows us to provide some powerful but expensive features, but also provide a very useful free tier.

Nothing against Journal in particular, but I'd happily bet a lot of money that it's going to be a subscription. 10$/month, or 100$/year, or something like that.

You should growing ARR to investors, they give you money, you grow the company, hire people, etc etc etc

Problem with note-taking: I mostly use notes. If I weren't too lazy I'd use vim or something like that.

I hate that everything is supposed to be a startup business with recurring revenue.
