$20/user/month seems incredibly expensive for an editor that we would have traditionally paid a one time cost for. I assume this has the saving and sharing of queries built in, but that is a lot of money for some storage. Are there other major benefits I am not seeing? (It is not my intention to attack you or make you defend this product, I am just curious if I am missing something - there are a lot of similar products with similarly questionable value propositions)

Saving, shared queries, easy link sharing, and basic charts with some intelligence. It also has excellent query UX (auto-complete, etc.).

Most of all, it's really fast. It fundamentally depends on your DB of course, but PopSQL doesn't add any extra bloat the way Mode does.
