This seems like a smart move. I know some will be frustrated with losing a free tier. But ultimately businesses need to make money and charging for it is part of that.

When you are a product that people build businesses on top of and start by burning money to grow as fast as possible and then switch to caring about profitability with a months notice to your customers that's a shitty thing to do.

This is a mentality shift from the investor side. You would be shot down if you said we're focusing on profits/revenue rather than growth from 2010 to 2021. Now it's shifted from growth to profitability.

A bunch of companies were burning money rather than making it for a decade.

Welcome to the world of European VC's where it has always been like that!
