$100 an hour sounds expensive. $1/minute might be a better published price. And also suggest that it's priced in minute increments.

- Reedx 11y agoWell, they're targeting people who want on demand helicopters. I feel like $100/hr makes sense given that context.
- pierre_massat 11y agoThat would change the price of the hour. We can still say $1.66 per minute but less appealing than $1.
- pbreit 11y agoThen it also solves too-high pricing.
- cmikec 11y agoThanks for the feedback. You're right, you bring up a good point that isn't explained as much on the website as it could be. We actually track time down to the second and display really detailed reports to users every day about how the time was utilized. Quite often a simple request can end up being $3-$4.
- pbreit 11y agoTo-the-second metering sounds awful.
- FireBeyond 11y agoThe interview for the Magicians ensures they don't stutter - or does it?
- vonklaus 11y agoI know why detailed reporting is important, I just have to assume that anyone paying for this is not price sensitive. Transparency and trust, one would imagine, are the core pieces of the business maybe even in front of task execution so it makes sense, but still, if I bought a 1200 ipad via SMS because I was too lazy to drive to walmart I probably don't need the reciept.
- danielki 11y agoIs there a way to set a maximum price or time you're willing to pay for each request? My biggest hesitation about using something like this would be that it would end up costing way more than I anticipated - something I expect to take 30 minutes could take 4 hours cost $400 instead of $50.
