Charging a one-off fee, per project, is a great idea.

And if I was you, I would much rather make enough money to pay the bills, than play the freemium lottery.

And Taskmessenger is all about adding value to a project - something that you should be proud to charge for.

Thanks for the feedback. We're really focused on facilitating teamwork. It's normally something intangible and we're trying to make it visible which will hopefully in turn make it contagious.

I will take a look into how a one-off fee model would work.

Please don't listen to the idiots telling you to charge a one-off fee for SaaS.

You're not 37signals and unless you have a couple of million burning a hole in your pocket, you should be charging reasonable subscription fees.
