@sytten, interesting feedback. How would you feel about MAU pricing that varies?

If you are an app for schools and students, you might have 300k users in Sep-May, but 10k users in Jun-Aug.

Would you feel comfortable if the cost went down during the low traffic months to a lower band, based on the 10k users?

Or is that still a non-starter?

Everything that is per user is a non-starter in my book.

Because the vast majority do 1-2 API calls to login once, are considered active and then never login again during the month. But you still have to pay as if it was active for the whole month.

That is why per API call pricing (a la AWS S3) or resources based pricing (1 CPU) is the best.

Thanks for the feedback!
