I like wit.ai but I don't think their pricing model is sustainable for many developers. At bulk pricing you get 25000 queries/day for $1500/month. At 30 days/m

I like wit.ai but I don't think their pricing model is sustainable for many developers.
At bulk pricing you get 25000 queries/day for $1500/month. At 30 days/month it comes down to $.002/query.
Assuming you generate revenue from advertising and you are able to display one ad per every query. You have to do $2 CPM or better to break even. Which is about the current market price [1].
There are other revenue models than mobile ad, but taking that example the developers would have to give all their revenue to wit.ai which would not make any business sense.

- ar7hur 13y agoHi, Wit.AI team here. Thanks for your feedback. We also have a free community plan: if you agree to give back to the community by sharing your training data, then Wit.AI is free for you. That being said, we are just getting started and we'll adjust our pricing after we get more developers' feedback.
- salimmadjd 13y agoI noticed that but I was wonder how sustainable that model was. 1 - you need to make money so, someone has to pay. 2 - at some point you'll reach saturation with training data and that won't be a viable option. Anyways, love what you're providing and we'll look into where we can use it. But just wanted to do a quick back of the envelop math.
