No data, just anecdotal, a very large number of my past clients have upgraded to growth for no reason other than to be able to have a past developer added. Many times I’ve seen them just downgrade after.
Similar to flusk a few google extensions require you add a collaborator so the extension can have full access, unlike flusk they don’t have partnerships where you can add flusk without it counting as a collaborator. Ex) again must be on growth.
This isn’t uncommon practice in software but many times it’s a couple dollar increase or pay per collab at like $5-15. Bubbles structure to have a single collab costs $100 more per month and a 12x increase on price of starter plan to $400/mo if you need more than 1 collaborator. Which is why the community has asked countless times for an option to pay a fee per collaborator instead of changing plans bc it tends to be one of the more common reasons people upgrade (ie: a main revenue driver for upsells).
With flusk being limited on plans all it would take is bubble showing alerts saying “xyz has a security issue, upgrade to growth for full report” or similar to push fear based upsells.
No code apps in general are notorious for not being secure, I love bubbles direction to fixing that but using something as important and as big of an issue as app security may not be as ethical. 
when flusk was solo it only cost anyone a mere $20/mo to get the knowledge to secure their app in full. Now it’s going to require them to be on $100/mo increase to get the some of the features and $400/mo team plan to get the full feature set that used to cost $20/mo.
Not that we don’t want bubble to make money, the platform should be prosperous but buying a widely used community tool and increasing the price as many multiples as you did is very VC esq.
