#3Why home vs nickle? Nickle seems to be the same with the addition of your own DNS for the same price.

As you probably saw in the blog post, the ability to do this is currently only offered via the desktop app, which I do not use. I only use the web interface, the Android app, and a non-Element matrix client. Element said in the blog post that it will add this option to the Android app, and once it does, I will use it and subscribe. Hopefully that answers your question.

What you are referencing sounds interesting. Would you please provide a link with more information? Googling "nickle matrix" does not yeild useful results, and it's even worse for "nickle element"

If you (or anyone else reading this) are okay with Patreon, they do have one at https://www.patreon.com/matrixdotorg. If you don't like Patreon for some reason, they are also on Liberapay, PayPal, and accept BTC and ETH.
They have some minor benefits and flair, although the page hasn't been updated in awhile, so I don't know how many are still valid.

Nickel is one of their existing plans, and Home is their new plan. Both offer the same features, except that Nickel offers an ability to use custom domains and is aimed at businesses. More on their pricing page [1]

Accounts on their Element Home plan can work on Android and iOS apps too. It's just that copying over data from a different homeserver to this new homeserver is possible only on the desktop app at the moment.

It looks like Nickel is $2/user, with a minimum of $10. So for a family a fixed $10 is probably the smarter choice, rather than to have $2 more for every user added. EDIT: it seems Home is limited to 5 users, which means it's actually the same price.
May i ask what would be the benefit of having your own DNS? I don't understand what your average group chat would gain...
