For smaller SaaS companies I think this approach is best.

If you have a stable passive income, whether you rely on or not. Why post about in an arena where people have the ability to copy and undercut you easily and threaten your income.

I sometimes find posts like these slightly disingenuous.

Sometimes competitors can be inspirational; they might attack the problem in a way that you don't consider, or they might push out features that suggest to you other things you could offer.

Me? I just wrap Amazon's route53 DNS with some git-magic, so you can host your DNS records in a git repository and make changes via `git push`. It's a simple idea, and yet it is surprisingly popular. https://dns-api.com/

Do you ever get emails asking how much 6 domains will cost? :D
In the past I had a sliding scale, but it just confused people. So I simplified a little and never quite rewrote that text. It seems to do no harm.

But for people with many domains there are deals to be had so haggling is always an option ;)
