To everyone complaining about the price point for this service.

You are part of The Problem.

This is a solo dev's venture, that has a relatively pure and straightforward goal. If you can't afford it, don't use it and pick one of the others.

Do NOT compare this with a B2C offering that has nothing to do with analytics.

Do NOT compare this with a B2B offering that's free and feeds your user's data into the parent corporation's advertising revenue stream.

Do NOT compare this with a B2B offering that is open-source, with a team of a dozen core contributors that has had a decade of development under its belt.

Heh...I had the opposite reaction to the price. As someone building something in the analytics space, $12/mo seems so low that it won't get traction beyond the hobbyist demographic. If you want to sell to business, the price point needs to be at least $200/mo.

Plus, I have zero confidence that someone using a naive postgres implementation can scale an analytics backend with customers paying only $12/mo unless all those customers get barely any traffic. Perhaps if he was using Timescale on top of postgres, but even then, $12/mo seems awfully low.

But as it is, the price point signals that he doesn't think it's a particularly valuable service.

It's an MVP right? Nothing stopping him from changing the model in the future
