4.95 for "unlimited" traffic? So if my script is taking in 100,000 reqs/day I'm still paying 4.95 per month? What about cpu usage, memory consumption?

  This is what I want to ask. A fiver per month for all that unlimited seems too good to be true.

    Our Terms (https://www.webscript.io/terms https://www.webscript.io/terms) do spend a little time defining "unlimited." We didn't want people to worry about it, so we went with unlimited, but as you point out "unlimited" is always a lie when finite resources are involved. Our goal is to never have to cut someone off for what seems like legitimate use.

      > Our goal is to never have to cut someone off for what seems like legitimate use. In that case, can I recommend that you determine what your costs will be and ensure that you charge, at each tier of usage, enough that you will be able to continue providing your service at a profit to these large-scale users?

      >in excess of 1000 key/value pairs Tiny! You should have tiers, and not "unlimited, but only where that means enough for a small amount of single-users"

      (Sorry, can't reply to the real comment, too nested.) @aaronblohowiak, just because we reserve the right to shut something down doesn't mean that we will. We'll learn from real use what people actually do. We have our own ideas about what we expect the use cases to be, but we may be completely surprised by the popular uses. If our pricing model doesn't make sense for what people want to do with Webscript, we'll certainly adjust. Thanks for the feedback.
