The free quotas will still be ok but only for fairly low-traffic apps and sites (less than 1GB/day, one instance). For everyone else, though, this is a massive price increase and pretty much kills a major part of why App Engine was so appealing in the first place. Huge disappointment. e: The part that really gets me is there's now no way to easily transition from a free app to usage-based billing app without paying $9/month up front. If I'm just starting up a new site or app, I'll have no idea if I'll go over the free quotas or not. Now, if I stick with the free quotas and happen to go over, will my site go down? The old model was far, far more developer and user friendly than this.
