#3Nice, I'll definitely check this out! Am I right in thinking your paid plans are both exactly the same, just one's paid monthly and one annually?

#4I’ve looked at the website but, unless I’m missing something, I don’t see the purpose of this app.
It’s essentially a skin which sits on top of regular Gmail.
Whilst Darwin Mail may respect your privacy it still requires a Google account.
What benefit does this provide that regular Gmail doesn’t?

#5Nice effort. I really miss Inbox. It was a key app in my daily workflow. Now that it’s gone Im looking for a solid replacement. Will give it a try!

Either they're A/B testing the pricing or they've already fixed it: I see $3/month, $25/year.

Thank you so very much for the interest!
You are exactly right there! It's about 30% cheaper to purchase the yearly plan and it has all of the same features.

Do you think there is a need for two plan? (with one of better value like on DarwinMail)
or
Maybe two different tiers with different features and pricing?
What are your thoughts?

You are spot on!
Thanks for helping a fellow hacker out ;)
Do you think the price point is fair?

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.
