Hacker News Reader

Yeah it seems odd to pay for what is essentially an RSS reader reskinned with custom CSS.

You think they would do better as an affiliate model for subscriptions (e.g. NYT gives 15 free articles per month to some readers), but maybe inoreader already does that.

I wonder if it's an algorithmic price based on # of users like what Pinboard used to have.

Inoreader is free too, with upgrades you can pay for. Looks like this only works with Inoreader.

What I mean, is that $0.90/month is not a price point that works well with a credit card processing fee. Unless it's billed yearly or something.

If you deal with a lot of small transactions you get a special agreement with your payment processor which basically removes the flat transaction fees.
