i think it could actually work. a couple of messengers (slightly different product but still...) have tried offering good alternatives to whatsapp at a sensible price. It turns out, people aren't motivated to switch even if the price is low.

When you make it expensive, otoh, it feels exclusive. After some reputation is built you can somewhat lower the price and perhaps many people are thrilled that they can join a very exclusive club.

whether this works out remains to be seen. success in this area is hardly likely but I doubt pricing is the determining factor.

Maybe it is not.

I am saying that amount of money is not necessary.

Different things.
