Had to read the documentation to see that serving the comments-widget one time consumes 1 credit, but sending a single email-notification consumes 15.
It seems very "expensive" to send emails.
Looks like a cute product, and the pricing mechanism is interesting. Good luck.
(I wrote some a simple self-hosted system, far less featureful, but it seems popular enough - http://github.com/skx/e-comments/ http://github.com/skx/e-comments/ )
- orkon 9y agoThanks for the link to your system. Is there a demo instance somewhere? Yeah, emails are quite expensive. AWS itself charges $100 per 1 million plus additional infrastructure to manage subscriptions + email validation & dealing with bounces. Therefore, email notifications are an optional feature. I hope in the future push notifications will be supported much better by the browsers so that it won't make sense to use emails.
