This looks super neat and incredibly useful, but the pricing is an absolute non-starter. I'll definitely use more than the free tier, and the next paid tier is 3000 API requests for $300 per MONTH? Am I alone in thinking this is way too expensive?

"$300 per month for small projects" makes me feel like I'm extra poor or something.

Hi, CTO of DataBorg here. Thanks for trying it out! We weren't quite ready to announce it to public just yet :) But hey, can't do much about it now.

Pricing is still a placeholder basically. We want to be in line with industry (which is generally ~0.001$ per 1000 characters), so the final tiers would look something like this:

Free - 3,000 credits

Hobby - 50,000 credits / 49$

Pro - 300,000 credits / 299$

Business - 5,000,000 credits / 4999$

If you could email me privately at tim at databorg.ai, I could give you a free month of hobby tier as apologies for this mess :)

Ooo that pricing is much better for indie hacking, thanks for explaining!

Happy to clear the misunderstanding :)
