This looks super neat and incredibly useful, but the pricing is an absolute non-starter. I'll definitely use more than the free tier, and the next paid tier is 3000 API requests for $300 per MONTH? Am I alone in thinking this is way too expensive? "$300 per month for small projects" makes me feel like I'm extra poor or something.

Hi, CTO of DataBorg here. Thanks for trying it out! We weren't quite ready to announce it to public just yet :) But hey, can't do much about it now. Pricing is still a placeholder basically. We want to be in line with industry (which is generally ~0.001$ per 1000 characters), so the final tiers would look something like this: Free - 3,000 credits Hobby - 50,000 credits / 49$ Pro - 300,000 credits / 299$ Business - 5,000,000 credits / 4999$ If you could email me privately at tim at databorg.ai, I could give you a free month of hobby tier as apologies for this mess :) edit: formatting

      I know right? These ̶l̶e̶e̶c̶h̶e̶s̶ unethical people using other peoples donated work to enrich themselves probably built their product and host their infrastructure with open source software. edit: yep looks like they did - https://huggingface.co/Babelscape/rebel-large https://huggingface.co/Babelscape/rebel-large cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 I would appreciate being unflagged since I was right on the money.

        Dehumanizing terminology… This is not the kind of discussion that I like to see here. Again, not cool. People build proprietary closed source software using open source software. That’s not a new concept and completely ethical if one abides by the license and terms. If you don’t like their product, don’t use it, or go make your own.

        "completely ethical if one abides by the license and terms." They aren't.

        Since CC licenses are so rare in software I never analized how the By, Nc and Sa clauses interact with SaaS. I'll have a read, but even if Sa copyleft does not apply (might be more like GPL than AGPL), By and Nc should probably apply. How did you identify that it is using yhe project you linked?

  Ooo that pricing is much better for indie hacking, thanks for explaining!
