They typically publish post-mortems, I think? Not 100% sure. They definitely do in-house.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Let me bet: it's DNS.

It's always DNS.

Gotcha. So that could make sense. Someone could start with the coaching, then downgrade to this option instead of just cancelling due to price once they don't use the coaching services enough.

i.e., it would help you with churn a bit, I think.

What would it do? I looked (probably too) briefly...and thought the the main value was mostly the coach. Or at least, the value I saw that I was "OMG, we need this in French _now_".

If you compare that to paying for a dietitian, it's actually not TOO bad. BUT, I think churn will be high due to price.

I could see a declining fee model. Just a thought.

We are trying a low FODMAP for my wife. I could see her paying for it for 2-3 months, then we would probably find that expensive at $29/w...but, if after 3 months, it went down to say $29 per month, then it would totally make sense as we would use it a lot less, I think.

At least if we compare to when she stopped gluten, lactose and a few other things 6 years ago...the worst was the first 2-3 months.

Oh god, love it! This is not that expensive if you compare to having someone helping you that you pay for, and need to get a meeting with.

On the business side, I would assume churn will be pretty high after a few months.

It is, they are downloading slugs from S3.

Wow that sucks!

I moved to mailgun yesterday. I run an alert system for Google Analytics, so I can't afford delays of more than a minute, and even then...

So far so good with mailgun!
