Your suggestions have been mashed into the PIE page - wuddyathink?

Devaka and I spent a half hour arguing brainstorming about how to do the purchase interface so it is wholesome and good and excellent.   Please take a look

https://permies.com/pie

We want it to be clear and lovely.  No sleaze (Over the last ten days, I have been flooded with sleaze, especially in broken web sites and "broken" web sites and it has become brutally important to me that permies is never like that).  

I'm gonna leave the price low for full pies and 12 pies for a bit.  


(and I wanna express that the cost of running this site has gone up and up and up ...   I would appreciate folks buying PIE)

Very nice, I like how everything is on the same page.  It was a little confusing at first, thinking I was redirected, but overall a better experience and very transparent content.

I like the clarity of the button text, it makes it quite clear that it defaults to a monthly description so there's no confusion about that. I would suggest having the buttons default to a one-time purchase, and have the lower link be in bold with a "subscribe for a X% discount" and showing the price drop/difference. So the user is encouraged and rewarded for clicking the subscribe link, versus it being the default to subscribe and risking the user take offense at a perceived "gotcha". But if your metrics show that more purchases are for recurring subscriptions, then I'd leave it as-is but mention above the buttons that most people subscribe. That should minimize the risk of a perceived up-sell.

i like it! just bought a pie to test out the stripe / apple pay. went super smoothly!

Great job!
