Mathpix Snip is free up to 50 images per month. Also, we are open sourcing our JS rendering stack very soon, which we hope will make publishing scientific content online more competitive with sharing PDF links.

FWIW, totally agreed with @MayeulC's comment (to the folks who might be willing to pay for this, the content is too damn important to risk platform lock-in. For this service to even get consideration, I would imagine that everything must be cleanly exportable, such that one needs only pay for continued use of the service). That said, where I would seek a tool that really adds value is auto-converting notes (text and math interspersed) into LaTeX, so that (as a value add) it can also be intelligently searched (coupled with an indexing+search solution). I think many academics/knowledge-workers might be open to paying for such a service. Bonus if you can work well off just smartphone photographs of pages.

  The content generated from Mathpix Snip can be pasted into any Latex compatible editor, so that avoids the lock-in you sometimes get with proprietary WYSIWYG editors. Plus as I mentioned we'll be open sourcing our rendering engine soon. Thanks for the suggestion about adding search capabilities, we're thinking about this. If you curious about it, I would suggest to just sign up and try it. If you spend a lot of time typing up Latex it's definitely worth having, especially for matrices / aligned equations.

The API pricing with 1000 free calls per month seems way more lenient than the free plan for end users. Are you worried about end users writing a simple script or downloading someone else’s simple script to sidestep your intended free quota?

why do you ask for organization access with github oauth?
