So the pricing is $100 per million data points, at minimum. That doesn't seem like it scales well for big data at all.

However, that's 5x cheaper than what BigML is offering (https://bigml.com/pricing/credits) for its ad hoc service, so I might be wrong.

BigML cofounder here. Most BigML customers doing machine learning at scale use either BigML subscriptions (starting $30/mo) or private deployments – both of which provide unlimited model training and predictions and are suitable for developers and large enterprises alike. In addition, with BigML you can export your models (for cluster analysis and anomaly detection and not just classification/regression) to run locally and/or to be incorporated in related systems and services.
