Many many SaaS products have a cliff, usually from "free" to "first cost" and that cliff can be pretty substantial.

But going straight from "free" to "enterprise" is steep even for a SaaS. Usually there's a "teams" level between.

Yeah, and they can be stupid expensive for small side projects with a handful of contributors. If you want a Netlify site with a background function that serves 10 visitors a day with 3 people occasionally logging in or pushing code, you pay $57/mo to execute $0.0001 worth of Lambda functions. Maybe it's worth it if things take off, but before then you're paying a lot for very little. So, you host on a DigitalOcean droplet or directly on AWS, and bear a migration cost if you were to choose Netlify as soon as things start growing.

If the value proposition isn't for you, then don't use it. You can't focus on a single feature while ignoring all the others. (ie - your 3 people team would pay $300/mo if you wanted SAML)

Vercel is a much better deal. Moved to there 3 years ago and never looked back
