I'm not a user nor do I need it, but the pricing seems really silly. Your users who find value from it surely need it more than $1 or $5 a month. If it's only $1/mo in value to me, I wouldn't even bother to sign up. Better find out what people use this for and have a better sense of how much they'd pay.

The question is how far past $12/yr are they willing to pay for email, considering free email addresses are ubiquitous?
PS. Doing same thing over a long period of time is pretty good way to succeed. I maintained an app for last 7 years and fetched $750 or so every month with around $100 costs. All organic growth.
Notes: I really like the theme, the barbershop candycane aesthetic does cry out "mail's here!" ... I think that the text on steps 1-3 is a bit dense and could be thinned out, or reduced somehow. The comparison chart on the price page is nice and clear except I would suggest adding some sort of icons to each of the row descriptors to make it clearer to understand at-a-glance. Great idea for a product and proud of your success!
May I ask, why did you guys wait until now to start marketing? Just curious about your decision.
We did experiment with paid user acquisition a few years ago but the results weren't good.
Congratulations! You have lasted longer than most silicon valley startups and have made more money than even some of the big names. PS.

Hire someone who has done this exact thing at another startup. You don't know how to do it, and even if you learn a few things here and there, you're clearly not an expert in marketing (just based off your post.) Not trying to offend you, but I'm being straight - hire someone. Someone good, who has done exactly this before, preferably several times, at several different companies, with several different strategies. S…
Please, don’t listen to this person.
You’ll lose all of the ground you have gained, in the hopes of attaining something that does not exist.
I also like that it's easy to navigate. I know it's not fashionable to have actual clickable links right at the top for "Home" "Help" "About" etc. Thank you for not hiding the navigation below an annoying full screen slideshow or behind a hamburger.
