My main gripe with this article, is it mentions that their product was born as a result of a "painful expensive experience" of not creating a "Pricing Engine", but they don't at all elaborate on what that experience was.

I want to know what problems that they built this to solve specifically, so that I can foresee future problems that I may run into. But they don't elaborate at all, and instead just mention that their product solves those unmentioned problems.

That’s fair. Having dealt with this myself, I’m very familiar with the pain involved, as I’d imagine most developers/entrepreneurs who have had to implement billing and then iterate on pricing are. It gets messy really fast.

Perhaps they’re more targeting people like me who have experienced this issue and don’t really need it explained, but I agree going into more detail on the specific challenges is probably a good idea to appeal to a wider audience.
