Sometimes with products like this one the value that it provides to the customer varies significantly depending on a use case and it's hard to put up pricing without either cutting out a long tail of smaller users or losing money on the big deals.

I have an API that market research and medical customers are willing to pay 100x more for than consumer social, at the same time the consumer companies have 100x the volume.
