I want MLO to be very successful and continue to roll out the new
features that I want, so I am willing to pay any reasonable amount. The
question of where in their landscape they build the tollbooth does not
matter much to me, the only issue is that it should be wherever
generates more revenue, bearing in mind that a dollar a year from six
million customers is better that two million a year from two customers.
It also helps if the fee structure is simple and easy to understand, and
does not create disincentives for using the product fully and well.
My favorite approach is a three-level fee structure, a stripped down
version available on all platforms but with no synch, for free. Second,
he current Pro version across all platforms (including a browser
interface) with synch for a license fee, like $0.20 per day of $5/month
or $25/year. Third, a group license for a family or small workgroup with
added group-friendly tools that don't exist yet.

I have a iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Air, and Asus Android Tablet. There is
absolutely no decent task/project app I've seen that syncs across these
platforms....now made even better with push sync.
I think it is well worth it to pay for cloud service so that they can
continue to maintain it and continue to come up with future enhancements.
Thanks,
Eddie

I agree with you James,
Everyone must choose the desired and sustainable business model that
suites their own business.
It was a suggestion, a desire, call it whatever you want.
But we can charge in different ways so that appealing more
customers/users.
I think the review is a good way...not the unique, but the one I
appreciate.
There are, for sure, others.
For example, prices according to packages : business package, small
groups package (2 users, 3 users, others); still be payied but with
different prices...I don't know.
It depends on MLO business purposes.
Regarding Zainan, can you please tell which feature would you like
to pay to vote for upcoming features?
I would say that I appreciate MLO app, and I expect it to be
enhanced more and more...
I am waiting for the task custom properties and calculated fields.

From the perspective of an enthusiastic user of other "dead"
PIM programs of the past, most notably Ecco Pro, a great
outliner-based PIM program...
When I put my life and information and plans and schemes and
goals into a program like MLO, the last thing I want is for
the company producing that software to go belly-up.
MLO cloud fees are a small price to pay for being able to
count on having the features of this awesome program
available year after year.
For example, Google sells advertising. That's their
business model. They can afford to "give away" things that
help their business model, or give them a competitive
advantage that leads people to the part of the business
where they make money. At last check MLO was not in the
business of selling ads, just the business of providing
great personal productivity software on PC, Mac, and mobile
platforms. How else can MLO stay in business and pay their
developers if they can't make money somewhere? I guarantee
you don't want to be a loyal user of a dead program from a
company that no longer exists. MLO's cloud fees are
reasonable enough. Servers and bandwidth and people and
systems to monitor them and keep them up aren't free, so MLO
has an expense to cover in providing the service. MLO even
provides us a way to sync over WiFi and other options so we
are not "forced" to use the cloud service. However, being
able to use cloud sync is such a big productivity booster,
to me it's worth paying a few bucks every year or two.
It's a small price to pay to ensure the ongoing viabiity of
a program whose primary agenda is to help US be more
productive, without us being funneled and forced into other
agendas like happens with Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon,
etc. Don't get me wrong, I love and use products from all
those companies.
P.S. I'm hoping before long their might even be a "skill"
developed for Amazon Echo so that "Alexa, add a task to my
to-do list, buy my girlfriend a Seattle Sounders jersey for
Christmas", and have that task added to my *MLO* to-do list,
instead of the lame Amazon Echo one. Oh yes, and "Alexa,
add a task to buy tickets to MLS Cup at 7 pm pacific time
tomorrow".

Andrey,
I guess I was misunderstood.
I did not meant that MLO would have to be free at all
but, only the cloud sync service.
I do not agree of free app or whatever product, and
regarding MLO would not be too, since it is a good app.
But regarding the cloud sync service, what is the main
reason to keep it under charge?
I think MLO Team would have to reconsider this issue,
since those who bought the app or the windows version
would have this cloud sync for free, in my opinion.
Because this subscriptions works like a limitation for
the app in everyday usage.
