I think they should think for prices on premium user names.
Charges should be one time and later on renewal regular prices.
Same like domain, you buy at premium whatever prices, but renewal is $ 10 only.
Who is going to pay for USD 999 for email just for 365 days?

As noticed on Twitter and confirmed by David Heinemeier Hansson, the co-founder of Hey parent company Basecamp, Hey considers these shortened addresses “premium” and worth the extra money. For a two-letter address, it will be $999 a year. For a three-letter one, the cost drops to $375 a year. Everyone else who signs up for Hey, which is still in an invite-only phase until a broader launch next month, can simply pick a four-letter or longer email address and pay the standard $99 a year. |
