Easier bookkeeping on their part.

  That might be the reason for the different tiers but there is definitely a dark pattern in the auto-upgrade GP describes. LogMeIn could just as easily put a hard stop at 100 computers with a notification the user needs to upgrade to a higher tier package. Instead they auto-upgrade the user without asking. (I’m assuming there’s no way to avoid the auto-upgrade. It’s one thing if a user opts in to the tier scaling for their own convenience I think that’s different.)

    In their defense, I wasn’t auto-upgraded. I just couldn’t add computers anymore. I hovered around 99 for a while, removing old computers, but one day I had to open up my wallet.

  Easier bookkeeping is the main ingredient of debate between consumption-based billing (AWS, Twilio, etc) vs user-based billing.
