Always good to hear. :)

Yup.
> The pricing page is confusing.
The paid plan doesn't come with any bundled minutes/messages, however we're considering changing this (e.g. up to 50,000 minutes/messages, then pure-usage cost above that).
It would be nice if we could abstract away the three metrics and only bill for a single metric, but I don't think it's economically workable. In practice, we pay a cost for all three, and they vary wildly by customer. Competitors generally account for all these metrics too (not an excuse, but...).
I do agree the pricing page could be more clear though. Even the current pricing is sometimes misinterpreted.

I rarely see this elsewhere, but I can imagine how it may reduce friction. Worth considering.

Thanks for the tip.
