Pricing isn’t clear for larger scale apps. Is the extra charge per $1k on include the first 20k; after a tier is reached, how is the next $1k calculated.

You should have an interactive price meter where we enter MTR and see the costs per month.

You should also specify if MTR includes or excludes Apple’s cut.

A great inclusion to the service is handling timed hooks to send notifications. Like if a user is about to have their trial expires and have their subscription cancelled, sending a notification to remind them of the trial can be helpful.

Great feedback. Thank you.

The per $1k pricing is only on dollars over the $20k base. We're planning on a adding price meter a la Segment's pricing page, just a matter of javascript-ing it up.

I just pushed a change (30s ago) that adds the platform cut question. We base it pre-platform cut because it incentives us to reduce the platform cut if possible: by getting more subscribers to the 1 year mark, or by getting subscribers on to cheaper platforms (like Stripe.)

And yes, lifecycle campaigns are something we want to get into. Since we're not in the business of push notifications, we'd probably just let you integrate your OneSignal or Braze key and we could send hooks to them so you could trigger whatever kind of custom campaign you wanted.
