They definitely do care - DJI devices block you flying in any kind of prohibited airspace out of the box and it's very difficult to override. In many countries, there's prohibited airspace over prisons for this reason.

100$/mo? I would like to be able to build out an idea in a week or two and see if it goes anywhere. Making my own metered billing system to go with it would be an enormous project. If it does go places, I'm happy to pay the big fe

I tried to use it for a new SaaS product - but their plans start at 3000$/mo. It seems like they have things backwards. The small fry like me don't want to self-host, we want a managed solution. The big fishes have enough scale to
