Sounds like you're limiting yourself to users who are comfortable paying 100-200$ monthly subscription or even thousands per month for API prices.

C.C. is expensive but i was hoping we weren't going to build tooling that exacerbated this issue simply because for some of us money is less of an issue than for most of us.



If you are paying a senior engineer 200k, getting them a CC max plan is equivalent to 1.2% of their salary. I would say that it increases productivity by a lot more than that.

So yes it might feel expensive in terms of a personal monthly budget, but the value for money is insane.


I guess I'd just ask that you re-read my comment. I get it. Drop in the bucket for companies. Not the same situation for students and plethora of other common financial situations. I agree with your take, just with the caveat that more affordable still makes the situation better (for companies too).
