BASIC Pro account / FULL Pro account
arr456 says:
Good day!
I was thinking about becoming a Pro member because I really use RTM a lot and find it powerful and useful. So I went and check what the Pro account offers...
Don't get me wrong; I don't think that 40 USD a year is expensive AT ALL. It's a more than fair price for what it offers - but I simply don't need so many functions and I don't find myself willing to pay for something I'm not going to use
From all the advantages a PRO account offers, I would surely use:
a) Subtasks
b) Advanced sorting.
But I don't:
- Use notifications on my phone
- Share lists with anyone
- Need colors on my tags
- I don't have / plan on getting a Smartwatch
- I'm not sinchronizing / integrating RTM with any other app (I don't even use the free account features)
- I don't use widgets.
- With regards to offline desktop app and themes, while I find it attractive, the fact is that I use RTM on my phone 98% of the time. So this isn't useful for me either.
MY SUGGESTION
Is to include two different plans:
- A FULL pro account for those who are really busy and fully use RTM's capacities
- And a BASIC Pro account for us who want to get just a little bit more organized - but without so many tools.
And example of this could be Dropbox, which has different plans based on their users' needs.
Thanks a lot for reading this and have a good day :)

I would think this to be a good idea, when the cost of the Pro subscription would increase somewhere to 50+ per year, but as it is now, with such a feature full free plan, it would be more trouble to carefully plan the price and feature set than needed, I think. E.g. I am paying basically for sorting and full history, and it is still worth the money, not to mention supporting the developers.
I think the free version of Remember The Milk is unbelievably great. Honestly, I didn't really pay too much attention to what I was getting for the pro version; I just knew that I was using Remember The Milk so much that I wanted to ensure it was generating the revenue it needs to stay well maintained.

I agree with dbsk and with the previous commenter. I don't use all of the features either. I don't even use half the features, I don't think. But what I use of the Pro account is very much worth the cost of the Pro account.
And, as has been said, I want to support the development of RTM to ensure its longevity. If RTM suddenly shut down tomorrow, I think I'd be in a very difficult spot. I do backup my account, but it would be a real drag to have to find a new service, try to import or recreate my tasks, learn a new way of doing things in a system that would be undoubtedly inferior, etc. I'll gladly pay for the RTM Pro account to get what it offers me even if I don't use all the features provided.
