How is that impossible?
How many examples of web apps can you give me, which are being sold directly to consumers for personal use? By personal use, I mean not for use at or for work. I can barely think of a handful and even those are quite often paid for by the buyer's employer as a perk or productivity investment.
As a user of Flow for the past few weeks, I've been blown away by its UI and usefulness. Unfortunately, the pricing seems a bit steep for personal use. I'd also like to see some clarity on how pricing works with groups of people.
I respectfully call this a ridiculous proposition. How is $10/mo expensive for this, or for anything in life? It seems to me Flow pricing is learning a valuable lesson from MobileMe: if it's useful, people will pay.

I pay $12/month each for GitHub and Harvest, both for personal use.
By personal use, I mean not using it for work. You may be using Github purely for personal use, but Harvest is clearly for business. Do you pay for any other apps?
However, I do pay for Netflix ($9/month) and TurboTax ($75/year) for non-business use. I used to pay for .Mac, as well.

Do families pay recurring fees for web apps? Apart from some high-quality photo sharing apps, I can't think of any examples.
MobileMe, Geni
MobileMe is also a desktop app though.
Regargless, my point is that there are very few web apps that people pay for to use outside of work.

I guess for personal use it's a bit expensive. Remember The Milk costs $25/a year vs $100/year for Flow.
Are they completely mad?

Are you a Flow or MobileMe customer? I'm genuinely curious and want to know why you'd pay for these.
I pay for MobileMe b/c it gives me true over-the-air contact/calendar sync on my iPhone. If another solution came around, I might consider it, but could it be free? And if not free, less than $10/mo?
I also pay for Flickr for purely personal use, b/c I want to be able to share my photos and let my friends/family download full-res files.
