I am sorry I failed to understand, so you just want everything for free?

The developer should not only open source his/her work but also host it free for you?

Typeform costs $83 for 10,000 responses[1](it's reliable, been around for almost a decade, used by leading companies around the world and it provides way more features than this) where as snoopforms will cost $200 for the same number of responses. That is more than 200% markup.

I am merely comparing prices here.

You are absolutely right and we are aware of this as we calculated it through.

Pricing an OS project isn't easy and we will introduce scaled prices per submission e.g. 500-2.000 -> 0,02$, 2.000-10.000 -> 0,01$ and > 10.000 -> 0,005$ or so.

We just didnt want to make it too complicated early on.

That makes sense. All the best. I will definitely recommend Snoopforms to people I know. I generally self-host whenever I can and I will self-host this when I need this in future. I hope I can still pay one-time fee down the line when I need it/self-host to support the project. Thanks
