The perceived "bargain" is a better retainer if your main site continues to advertise $20/mo and they are on say a $10 recurring...

It's all about marketing.

Setting single price points then forgetting all about it is bullshit. Track your members and find out how they interact on your site and market accordingly, one on one if needs be.
