Thank god competition is heating up.
> Our pricing is upfront
Because plaid does everything not to be transparent on their pricing.
This is what's called an "analogy".
But your other points are valid.
The goal of OSS is not to show off your skills as some elite programmer.
This is still a loss for devs, I was hoping we can just rip of Google garbage payment system and use something like Stripe, or whatever new companies that would've emerged to fill our needs.
Obviously they'll give a sweet deal to massive companies but not the small devs.
but, 1 there's nothing to show, and 2 its being built in the dark.
Apple currently taks 100% of profits from Apple Music and takes 30% of their direct competitors, essentially 130% profit. Margins are already very low for a lot of these apps, so its impossible to even compete using Apples payment.
