I here link a post I made 1 year ago for the last pricing update. One of my most liked posts and as pointed out by many above, still a timely critique.
"Sometimes some back of the envelope math (how will 10 production plan apps that use us since 2 years fare) might help.
Eg at age 25 I would buy Lionel Messi for 100M but 200 Million, 1 Billion?
A factor 10 price increase is not something to take lightly. Even 2x radically changes margins of any business."
Unlike in my last interview, i have now had a chance to see many other people’s app statistics.
Whereas pricing based on capacity is ok, as soon as average apps have more than 100 active users, it looks to me they have to pay 500-2k a month. in many cases that is 4-8x more than before. Not 2x more, which is already a lot but still reasonable.
That is too extreme and leaves a very big markup per MU you are making.
AWS or Cloudflare, or also Paypal and Stripe or even Walmart are all volume businesses but the pricing you have chosen per WU looks to be that of luxury clothes brand not of a volume business.
My ask: Every plan gets 2x as many workflow units as outlined above.
edit: based on tests below revise to 10X
