This looks nice. You might want to add a time-limited free trial.
I wouldn't take the pricing advice on HN too seriously because even if you charged $10 lifetime for something, you will find someone complaining that it's too much. "If only it were $3.33, I would totally buy it for the whole family."
Don't decide based on what the competitors are charging. Because the answer to that is ZERO.
Decide based on what kind of business you want to be in. If you want to scale it to the moon and make it up on volume, then sure give it away for free or cheap and work on optimising for premium upgrades or advertising.
But if you are looking to make money from the get go, then don't even think of charging less than $10/month or you will end up losing money.
