THIS is how Sharepoint should have worked from day 1. But I guess Microsoft thinks normal office workers won't get version history in their mind.
Congratulations on your launch! Other folks have provided a bunch of commentary on the validity of your idea, so I won't address that. BUT: if this is a good idea, your pricing is far too low for a niche product like this. $10 (or 10 quid) is too low a monthly fee for pretty much any product marketed as a business product. 10 per seat per month is probably also too low, but would be a better starting point.

And you don't want to lock too many customers into low pricing early on - it's a real challenge to start charging customers more when they're used to paying a ridiculously low rate.
What's wrong with using a document management system instead of this?
Here's my unsolicited opinion: you preemptively answer "why wouldn't I just use git?" but I think "why is this better than track changes?" is the question prospective users are more likely to have. Comparisons to SharePoint versioning might also be helpful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It includes at least me :) I switched to Latex for writing my second master thesis because I wanted to use version control but Word is far more easier to deal with when the document include unicode character outside the BMP.
