/I/iamthatthis was quoted in the interview as saying he didn’t think the math worked even at $5 given the app store cut and other API prices they pay (eg Imgur). Reddit’s quoted $1 per user per month was laughable, with the top 5% or so users costing $7-8 per month. I just don’t foresee this working out. Hopefully they start allowing you to monitor and log usage or I have a feeling this guys gonna get a nasty bill one month.
Dbrady (the maker of Relay) has pushed multiple updates in the last month optimizing and reducing API calls. He then spent time recording anonymous data to see what the average API calls are, and is basing that pricing on average API calls after the changes.
