I believe the recently announced Wufoo integration does this as well, but it appears this flow is more elegant.


Ya, wufoo does it too. But my app is free :) and in the near future will have useful analytics and CSS customization, etc for pro users.


Yeah, I like yours better for sure. But please don't compete on price! Charge for the useful analytics and CSS customization. louisck's web developer should use your product for his next $5 video and you deserve to get paid for that.


> please don't compete on price

It strikes me as very sad that in bringing down a monopoly (Paypal), already you are advocating price collusion amongst the new players in the industry...


I think the real point he's making is that it shouldn't be free. Stop giving away your work for free. This is what made the iOS market so hard to make money in.

What, you spent 4 months working on that app? Dammit 1.99 is just too much to pay for that. Oh it's free? What the heck are these ads doing here. I hate your ads. Go F* yourself. Seriously. I got a support email today that told me to "Fuck off" because of the ads in one of my free apps. The race to the bottom isn't a good thing for anyone.


As opposed to racing to the bottom?


Yes. Its called a competitive market - I don't know how you can seriously argue against such a thing in the modern world, where all of us rely on it (price competition) for basically everything we buy.

Though (perhaps thankfully, given the response to my post) the relatively simple nature of this means that its (if not now then soon) going to be a price-competitive industry anyway.
