 Very true...and it's one of the things that factored into my thinking - there are substitutes, but I've always competed more than successfully with them based on a slightly lower price point ($1, believe it or not lol) plus better content. But their content is "satisfactory" to most people so I'm worried a sharp price increase would make a major difference in return signups.
