This looks pretty great. My first potential use case is as for a HomeAssistant addon to tie into HA's existing energy monitoring infrastructure. Is there any chance of a free plan for consumers so we don't need to sign up and pay $3.00 a month to retrieve energy usage for home use? I imagine that the mindshare among developer types would be worth the minimal calls, but obviously this is your decision :)

Thanks again for building this!

Pelm is free up to 100 API calls and 10 active end users per month! I believe this should be enough to cover the home use case.
Oh awesome! Thanks!
i was also wondering about this right off the bat. it's something i'd prominently explain right at the beginning on the home page, because you want trials to be exceedingly obvious and frictionless (and without having to have you two involved!). it's a great way to build your funnel (and get word-of-mouth) at low cost.
I've added that info to the text above.
