Is $5 the magical number when it comes to pricing your product in the SaaS market?

Here's my current list of subscriptions:

• Github - $12
• Instapaper - $1
• The Magazine - $1.99

I have other subscriptions as well that are on an annual price that I haven't listed here, but it's safe to say that most subscriptions fall in and around the $5 mark. Don't just set a price though, do some background work on your product and market and get feedback on what your customers are prepared to pay. It might surprise you.

Nothing like an Apple product launch to get a hacker debate going. Me, I can take it or leave it. I've grown increasingly immune to these product launches over the years. And I'm glad I have.

That's a much more interesting story.

Jeff Atwood uses his brain, Curtis McHale has thrown away some of his list and I've completely deleted mine. Is this the end of the todo list?
