Hi ddon, one of the founders here. I personally do agree on flipping the pricing models to be more inclusive. We’ve tried our best to make them as cost effective as possible and even go as far as allowing unlimited users on a free plan.

When we were working on pricing, we looked into everything from compute costs per user, data storage per workspace, new feature development, marketing costs and much more over the span of time. We came up with our pricing based off those costs and hence on our lower plans we’re still under the price of similar tools.

We’d love to, in the future figure out more flexible ways to price our users but at the same time maintain the service and growing feature set. I can assure you that we definitely gave having a Spotify family plan like pricing model a thought. In the mean time we are working with startups to accommodate their needs as they move into paid plans by offering discounts on long term commitments, we’re always open to discussions with our users and helping them stay empowered on our platform.
