I would make the mid tier limited to 10k (100k?) queries and add one more plan.

- blowski 3y agoWhy's that? I'm terrible at making decisions on pricing, so I'm curious about people's thought processes.
- itsoktocry 3y agoThere's some weird nudging psychology that says when when people see an expensive and free option, the mid-tier seems even more appealing, which makes it easier to get them paying. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. If your tool is useful to people, I think your query limit on the free-tier will be enough.
- rrr_oh_man 3y agoProbably some kind of psychological pricing strategy. However, charging for queries would be like ChatGPT charging in tokens — yes, it's understandable, but non-intuitive. And very product-, not user-driven. I'd rather keep it simple in terms that a user can understand. Really like how you set it up right now — makes it easy to say yes. The _enterprise_ game is the one where you will make the real money: Teams, Management, Integrations, Access Rights, Billing cycles, Onboarding, etc.
- rvba 3y agoThere will be that one user who makes a gazillion queries just because they are unlimited. Or the second tier should still be capped. But that looks wrong feo marketing point of view.
- tarasyarema 3y agoThat is an interesting thing you are raising here. I think right now the point of the paid plan is the scheduled queries, which are the more compute expensive, that's why the pricing like this. Now, I do believe that I may just increase the free allowance, and maybe if I see people that want to power use normal queries and have maybe a few scheduled ones have an mid tier plan (or even on demand) that allows more queries and a few schedules. And eventually move the PRO to be a really PRO plan.
