#12Most of my paid SaaS plans are closer to the $9-$19 dollar per month range.
Examples: Freshbooks, HootSuite, MailChimp, KISSmetrics, Dropbox

#13Although it's one of the worst models for startup. If volume is possible that means too many players in that market. Startup is already a risky business, why make it even harder by going into a space where you have to fight with lots of other big / small / medium players?

#14He mentioned the github $5 plan however I always pays $7 each month since the beginning. I checked github pricing[1] and it's showing the micro plan starts at $7/mo. Is there a lower plan by buying in bulk, paying annually or else? [1] https://github.com/plans
I have a free account on github, but I must be a terrible customer, because starting from my account, it took about 8 clicks to find the pricing information. I ended up having to go through the FAQ, and one question happened to link to the plans. Either that, or github has very relaxed attitude about sales. Maybe they only alert you to it when you attempt an action that requires an upgrade (e.g. too many repositories).

The submitted link is from Heroku - I suspect that they are tracking links and forwarding to Svbtle, and it may be the Heroku forwarding that is down.

isn't there something to be said for "a smaller slice of the bigger pie" ?

It applies to certain things but I don't think that applies to $5 SaaS. Because to be sustainable you'll need 1000-5000 customers, even though those numbers can be small in that big pie, it's still extremely hard to reach and support.
However you can easily get a smaller slice of the bigger pie in an enterprise market with 20 customers instead of 5000, and that's much easier to accomplish.
This model seems more suitable for "go big or go home" players.

So 19$ instead of 25$ for 5 services? Why bother? Or you got something more elaborate in your mind?

well , these are on demand services , so bundling them would make little sense unless the bundle is very flexible ( i.e. you can choose 10/20 out of XXX services for a fixed monthly fee ).
