We received the exact same letter from Yelp. Our usage is significantly higher and when we talked to them, the prices they quoted were ridiculously high (thousands of dollars a month).
Exactly, we're not. We're closing our products. They are perfectly welcome to charge too high a price for us. They just should've communicated it better.
We have a analytics SaaS which displays, among many other pieces of data, ratings from different providers, including Yelp.
I assumed that Yelp had been doing this all along and we ran above some predetermined limit, but the email we received was identical to yours. So I'm thinking that Yelp is trying its best to monetize all API users

Does yelp (or others) allow the restaurant to modify the menu/offer coupons in a dynamic way? (i.e. change multiple times per hour, update with in minutes)
