I think the point of free plans is that no money changes hands so there's no support or SLA, while base paid plan gets now more expensive.

So if you didn't need those, you save money now, but if you do, you have to pay up to get the same features (going from $50/year up to $200+/year if you are just using it alone). So it's not all pure altruism.

But I'm not a Tailscale user, this is just from what I see looking from outside.
