Agreed, this is an exciting api but the pricing puts it out of reach for a lot of applications

  I'd like to preface this with the fact that I have next to zero experience about the topic of pricing/charging for such service's, so what I say might sound naïve, but… Is it really that expensive, though? I mean I can see it being expensive if you use it inside a product you offer for free, but if it's a commercial product, I imagine the pricing isn't that much especially if you consider that using your own infrastructure for this type of machine learning and image scanning would be much much more expensive.

    Once the networks are trained it's probably very cheap to run the service. But I guess that's my point, the pricing puts it out of reach of free or cheaper subscription products. Even the robot example they give in the video to achieve that functionality it would have to be taking a picture every couple of seconds or so and uploading them to the cloud - at that rate it would cost almost $5 for 15mins of use!
