"Also the Contact Us thing is a red flag for me." Why is that a red flag and not something you see as potentially finding a custom solution to your need?

- nextaccountic 4y agoIf someone is wary to ask, they probably can't afford it
- Enginerrrd 4y agoNot OP, but I feel similarly and for me it's because the information assymmetry is a deliberate way to give advantage to the seller. I also perceive deliberate lack of transparency as dishonest and exploitative. If you can't give me a price upfront, I probably don't want to do business with you. That may not be entirely fair, but that is my perception I also don't like doing business with people I can't trust on a handshake. Contracts IMO should really only formalize the implicit understanding of expected boundaries to be followed by both parties. If you're the type of person to seek advantage when an unexpected situation comes up, I don't really want to do business with you.
- hutzlibu 4y ago"If you can't give me a price upfront, I probably don't want to do business with you." I don't understand. They give very clear prices for various use cases and for everything else, there is the "contact us" button. Which is quite common as far as I know.

- hutzlibu 4y agoBut here they seem to have that option avaiable: "free non-commercial development account" But yes, they are clear they don't want to do low volume buisness, once you actually do buisness, which is a shame, for those who start small, but I would not rule out the possibility, that they might arrange for a "try it out".
