And business models can and do change
And by checking the pricing page, Yelp's commercial API is $15 per 1000 API calls per month. Which sounds ok?
- WoodenChair 2y agoRight, they never answered my questions about the discrepancy between that and the pricing deck they specifically sent me for my app. See slide 3 with a $229 per month base price: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cb_8laDpxZdfwJPtYBmibZgvLZ84a17J/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cb_8laDpxZdfwJPtYBmibZgvLZ8... The economics of Restaurants actually mean it wouldn't be profitable either way though. That's how low the sales are. They're welcome to start charging for their API whatever they want, but they should give more than 4-days (Friday->Monday, 1 business day) notice.
