I'm not really sure why a pricing change is HN-worthy, but I guess here I am biting:

> We’ve also heard your feedback about how our pricing is difficult to understand and hard for you to predict.

> Starting March 1st we’ll be offering our customers up to 200x more reads across all pricing plans.

Just giving more reads doesn't seem like it's actually simplifying pricing or making it more predictable?



It was noteworthy change for me as I was considering PS for a new project but was a bit weary of the read limit and unwittingly hitting it. Now with the bigger numbers I feel that I have less to worry about and could just dive in.

And since as you mentioned from the post its a popular complaint so I figured others might be interested in this change as well.


One of the most common complain was the read [1], and now they have upped the bundled limit and cost thereafter as $1 per billion reads.

Yeah, but they didn’t actually adress the problem they stated customers had in their own blog post.

It feels like they’re just kicking the can down the road by increasing their numbers.


Yea but it's great marketing. It fits a few usecases of mine. And I think they reeled me in
