Looking at all the feature requests here I can't help but think that you guys are reinventing TeamSpeak. The only difference I see is that with TeamSpeak you first must install a client whereas this runs in a browser.

Really? I don't think running another app to get audio is a very user friendly solution, and you'll never be able to record a session. How about Opus and webRTC or similar?
That's the problem - are they the same ways everyone in your meeting uses? How much time is wasted on each 'conference call' working out who's there, who has the number, where's Bob!
Examples (genuinely curious)? In my casual experience, it seems to be easier to use than gems or pip and has much larger ecosystem than anything else I have tried, which is the #1 selling point of a package manager IMHO. A good package manager (by my standards) should have:
1. super easy publishing
2. A package for practically everything you can think of and if not, see #1
3. Most of the market share for its particular language so that you can be reasonably sure a particular module maintainer has an up to date package
I won't put credit card details into a site unless I have some trust in the system they're using. The lack of a brand isn't necessarily a good thing here.
In any case, the brand is for marketing to developers right now -- once "Persona" becomes a thing in and of itself, this will be a nonissue.
Agree, i'm dying to have a play with this but I begrudge paying 200 bucks before I even know if I like it! Maybe they should allow you to develop your entire app for free but put some sort of kill switch inside which makes it fail to pass app store validation or w/e.
