> Monthly Minimum Starting at $30k/mo

Promoted would be interesting for this new marketplace feature I'm working on right now, but this minimum makes it impossible to try it out. Any thoughts on pay-per-use pricing? Or is this only interesting for large established marketplaces with lots of data to train on?

We're planning on a freemium tier in the future. Promoted is more useful for bigger marketplaces because when you're small, simple heuristics will get you far for free, and you don't need the dedicated infrastructure, support, and complexity management that we offer. Also, +9% is astronomical for large marketplaces but not notable for new ones.

$30k/mo minimum is roughly the cost of 1 FTE. If you're big enough to start hiring a team of specialist roles just for search and ML, then we're a better fit today.
