To help, I’m humbly putting for consideration a new pricing system that combines what the community and shareholders have communicated to be valuable for them, being simple, predictable, auto scalable and tied directly with the resource consumption of each app:
Keep the capacity plans and charge more for them, if needed.
For auto scaling, charge per each minute where the app was exceeding 100% capacity, instead of killing workflows at that point.
Details:
-
Auto scaling is optional (app admin can turn it on/off ). If off, workflows would be killed when app surpasses 100% capacity.
-
Minutes over 100% capacity would have a price, minutes over 150% capacity a higher price, minutes over 200% capacity a higher price and so on.
-
App admin can setup alerts for when app has exceeded X amount of minutes over 100% capacity (or any % capacity, customizable alerts).
-
App admin can setup a monthly capacity overage cap in USD for minutes spent over 100% capacity.
Example:
I set my capacity overage cap to be $100 monthly. The price per minute over 100% capacity is $1 and the price per minute over 200% capacity is $2.
In the current month, my app have spent the following in capacity overages:
- 90 minutes over 100% capacity (90 mins x $1 = $90)
-
5 minutes over 200% capacity (5 mins x $2 = $10)
Total spent in capacity overages until today = $100
Since I set my monthly overage cap to be $100, I’ve reached my cap. This causes auto scaling to be automatically turned off for my app. I would be able to turn it on again, only if I increase the $100 overage cap that is now fully consumed.
That’s it.
I believe Bubble could apply this pricing system leveraging their existing architecture, they already measure capacity and also minutes where the app surpassed 100% capacity.
Which pricing system do you think is better?

Just throwing some ideas to try to help you as you have helped many of us with Bubble. Thank you for listening.
