Hey, WIP looks cool but the price is a bit steep for something I might not use after the novelty effect wears off in a week (which is the typical problem with todos/productivity apps). I understand it acts as a barrier to the worst timewasters polluting the chat, but maybe there should be some sort of ramp...? Just my £0.02.

In my experience the novelty effect of a good productivity tool doesn’t wear off that quickly. It will become an indispensable tool in your workflow.

For most members $20/mo (or $150/year) is well worth the boost in productivity and connections made. That said, if you decide it’s not for you I’d be happy to refund the $20.

Nice example how price anchoring can be put to practice though ($300,000). So you're saying it didn't work on you? ;)
