Memo: pricing thoughts on the new tier
Three things, on a walk:
• I keep coming back to a usage-based middle tier with no monthly fee. Pure consumption.
• The friction with Stripe credits is they expire in some jurisdictions — should check.
• Need to look at how Lovable handles this. They publish prices per model.

Okay so I keep coming back to this idea of a usage-based middle tier where there's no monthly fee. Just like, pay-as-you-go pure consumption. I think that — yeah, I think that's actually the right shape because it doesn't punish people who use it lightly and it scales for the people who lean in hard. The friction with Stripe credits is, um, they expire in some jurisdictions, I think six months in some EU countries, so we'd need to look at the legal piece of that. Should check. And then I want to look at how Lovable handles this, because they actually publish prices per model and that's interesting — like, they're confident enough that they'll just tell you what each query costs. We could do that.
