Hi I'm Kiran, the finance manager for Ameelio. We are 100% committed to keeping our tools free for users - they're some of the most vulnerable in society and it is a tragedy that they are getting fleeced by predatory companies. As our founder said, we're completely self-funded and all volunteers right now. That's to say - we really need $$ to keep sending letters. If you have spare resources during these times, we would really appreciate it if you could help us out and donate! Here's a link: https://www.aplos.com/aws/give/ameelio/general https://www.aplos.com/aws/give/ameelio/general

> We are 100% committed to keeping our tools free for users > Website: "All our users can send unlimited free letters" But then in your landing page screenshot: > To celebrate Ameelio's launch, you have unlimited letters! As our community grows, you'll have access to 4 free letters a month. So which one is it? To say it's a "free communication platform" with "unlimited free letters" but then to limit it to 4 letters/mo as your "community grows" is disingenuous.

  To be honest the 4 letter cap comment is just in case we run out of funding and is subject to change depending on the situation. This isn't some free trial exploit. Nothing we do is disingenuous. We are 100% committed to keeping our tools free for users. I know the world is filled with businessmen trying to take your money, but that's not us. But thank you very much for pointing this out. We need to make sure we're more clear in the future.

    That's good to hear. I think if you made it clear that the level of service you can provide is proportional to the funding you receive, it would both fix this misunderstanding and serve as an incentive for people to donate.
