If you compare that to paying for a dietitian, it's actually not TOO bad. BUT, I think churn will be high due to price.

I could see a declining fee model. Just a thought.

We are trying a low FODMAP for my wife. I could see her paying for it for 2-3 months, then we would probably find that expensive at $29/w...but, if after 3 months, it went down to say $29 per month, then it would totally make sense as we would use it a lot less, I think.

At least if we compare to when she stopped gluten, lactose and a few other things 6 years ago...the worst was the first 2-3 months.



A dietitian is a different service though. Registered dietitians are trained, accredited professionals that can legally give you medical advice. This service will not give you medical advice.


Also good thought on a pricing model that declines after the first several months - definitely something we're considering introducing.

Could the high pricing be because this is really a guide to a solution -- once customers have need for a guide, they'll stop using the service; that is, churn is naturally built in due to the nature of the service.
