How much would you pay for an image resizing service? I'd been thinking for a while of putting a fleet of autoscaled thumbor boxes behind cloudfront and making a billing API for it.

Imgix's $10 minimum is so much for a personal site with maybe 500 uniques a month. If you're going for a service like that, think of people like me who host on s3/cloudfront for $.20/month. But let people scale up to millions of pageviews a month.

Don't need anything fancy. Just w=? h=? would be great, developers can handle the DPI stuff with sourceset tags.
