Sério isso ?
Vou até responder em português porque chega ser engraçado. E esta confiança que você passa para clientes e sua rede? Que tudo bem em menos de um ano vim com duas propostas extremamente sem nexo algum, ai pede desculpa, faz uma matemática de redução que nem é precisa e esta tudo bem? Aonde fica a transparência e confiança da plataforma?

As I understand, they don’t run their platform on their own virtual or bare bone hardware, so their are unable to precisely calculate the metrics you want. Or it’s so complicated that they have no capacity to do that. It’s not about they don’t want it, it’s just nearly impossible if your system is built on multiple cloud services.

Scary to install a plugin…
Btw. I am pretty sure that 0.000003 is wrong. Probably closer to 0.0000028

I’m currently on the professional plan and I make 180 million UW/Month
if it reduces 90% which is the best hypothesis I would go to 36 million UW/month and the monthly value of the platform would go to $3,138.00.
so the bill is simple, I asked the gpt chat to calculate how much more I would be paying
To calculate the percentage increase from the value of $129 to $3,138.00, we can use the following formula:
Percentage increase = ((final value - initial value) / initial value) x 100%
Substituting the values, we have:
Percentage increase = ((3,138.00 - 129) / 129) x 100%
Percentage increase = (3,009.00 / 129) x 100%
Percentage increase = 2331.78%
Therefore, the increase would be approximately 2331.78%.
Guys, we are talking about an abusive increase, I would gladly pay up to 600 dollars, but 3 thousand dollars a month just like that? wake up let’s go to court.

I’d like to express my concern about the current state of the Bubble Ghetto API integration and Recursive workflows. While the GhettoAPI allows us to pull thousands of product data, the poorly optimized Recursive workflows can be hit or miss when it comes to updating inventory and pricing, often requiring multiple cron job runs to ensure success. This inefficiency results in the use of a couple million WU units per day, which poses a significant threat to my business.
I’ve tried to follow all the available API and Recursive guides in the forums, but unfortunately, Bubble’s optimization methods haven’t been sufficient.
I kindly request that Bubble addresses these issues by improving the way third-party APIs are brought into the backend editor of the platform and making Recursive workflows more accessible. Although I’ve done my best to optimize them within the platform’s limitations, it seems unreasonable to pay more for things that are out of my control.

De acordo com muitos a redução está ótima! Até começarem a fazer os cálculos.

I think in your particular case you can reach bubble for a custom pricing (dégressive). I am not a fan of this pricing change that is for sure. But in your case it looks that what you have paid until now was close to « free »

I don’t think that counts? (or at least i hope not)
Thank you for being open to feedback regarding recent pricing updates. As an avid user of the platform, I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on how these changes might impact the user experience.
While I am not intimately familiar with the intricacies of Bubble’s infrastructure, I would like to propose a potential solution based on my external observations. Consider exploring the possibility of clustering apps into different containers, allowing a smaller number of apps to share the same database. This approach could potentially reduce the data processed by the DB engine and optimize resource usage, ultimately benefiting both Bubble and its users.
In addition, I strongly recommend exploring the possibility of providing a self-hosted option for Bubble. This would be particularly valuable for teams with advanced engineering expertise and access to their own infrastructure resources. A self-hosted solution would not only help to offload some of the computational and storage demands on Bubble’s infrastructure, but also cater to users who may view the current dedicated plans as cost-prohibitive. This alternative could be achieved through the deployment of a custom Bubble instance on a private server, or by leveraging cloud-based solutions like AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure.
Thank you for your continued dedication to creating a user-friendly, innovative platform that empowers us all to bring our ideas to life.

I’m not a developer, and though I’ve worked to learn what I could about Bubble (too many test apps, very sorry) trying to build out an app for my existing financial business. Anyways, I read the post and struggle to understand how this will work. It seems now we won’t know how much something might cost until we build it. And then, the table and weightings can only remind me of a Spirit Airlines flight.
It is important for Bubble to build out a profitable business, for sure. I so much want this thing to succeed (which I could invest…). I just believe that the “pay for units” will be quite difficult for folks to grasp. Will their app cost them $50/month? $500?? “Build it and find out” seems to be the new way, akin to “book your flight and we’ll charge your card at the end of the month based on checked bags, your weight, distance, wind speed, number of times you went to the bathroom.”
Back in the day (maybe some still do this) we had to pay for our cell phone plans based on number of minutes. It didn’t work. Today, most of us have unlimited minutes or data plans that we rarely exceed. If we run over, maybe we get hit with an overage (units) and have the option to go to the next “fixed” plan. From a business standpoint, this structure IMO makes more sense than the “wait and find out” or “test your unit usage in conjunction with previewing your app”, respectfully.

Because going up in plans also adds other things like more dev branches, more days of server logs, sub apps, etc.
So you pick the plan based off of what features you need then tell it how many WUs you use
What is the future of BUBBLE with WU? In jeopardy. Sad day.
When people will realize…
Good luck all

I am curious about what it does (your app I mean) ! Also it is possible that after the WU calculation update, it goes from 180m WU to 30m WU ?
Let’s test it and then see.
Again I am very concerned about this price change just like you. But I want to see what it really does after this update before I judge. If this stays unaffordable, I’ll be the first to leave bubble for good. But if it becomes actually sustainable, I’ll keep developing on bubble.

I hate to say I still think I’ll be working these next 18 months to get off my bubble dependency. There is just no way I can take the risk of scaling with Bubble. I want more users on my free to play game, but under this model I’ll be worried about actually attracting traffic to my site. There is a catch-22 there that just doesn’t make any sense. My success would be my downfall.
