The problem might be your approval process? $18 compared to fully loaded monthly cost is nothing. Unless you are using 100 tools like this maybe. Or based in LC

The problem might be your approval process? $18 compared to fully loaded monthly cost is nothing. Unless you are using 100 tools like this maybe. Or based in LCOL location. The pricing isn’t ridiculous, it is by design. For better of worse SaaS pricing is about finding features (regardless of their actual cost) that act as signals for “is a customer who can afford more”. The $6 tier was you paying their marketing and market research cost by you trying them out :-). They probably don’t need the $6 they need the data that you were willing to pay something!
