But I doubt that this could this could gain enough momentum with these prices.
1 hour is a very short time (in the context of checking email). Maybe you could offer something like 2 free 12 hours trials per email address. And the catch is that if someone uses a fake mail, they will never get a match because the other person would not know that new email.
Edit: oh silly me, here could send his fake address in the message field.
You could also try to offer a free 12/24 hour trial for one month. And try to advertise it heavily in news outlets in that period, so that you can get some mind share, and people would get some experience with the product.
Possible candidates theverge/Lifehacker/reddit
Thank you so much for the feedback. If I can pick your brain just a little more...
I'm totally open to changes in the pricing and expect to fine-tune this. One question though: did you as a casual visitor understand that you only pay if your thought is matched? I want that to be very clear and I'm not sure if it is yet.
Another question: Do you have any gut feel for how you would adjust the prices (and/or time periods)?
Sorry last one!: Just not sure what you mean about the fake address in the message field? I just want to know exactly what you misunderstood initially since other people probably will also.

Very interesting idea about trials...
