Sorry, I’m not signing up for it because this is a pet peeve of mine: “Get started for free” with no link to pricing and no link to the business model. Will I be forced to pay after some limit that I’ll be informed of only after signing up? Does this website have a business model that can help it last for sometime? Is it free forever for all features because the creators just want to provide something to society?
It’s extremely disappointing and frustrating to see some new service that does not disclose how it’s expected to “keep the lights on” and how that would impact people who sign up.
I need the answers on the site, even if they’re provided here as a reply.
Totally fair — no business model exists today. Truly.
We built it and wanted to ship now and figure that out later. Obviously our goal is to keep the service up and we will. We're not strapped for cash. Ultimately we'll charge some kind of yearly fee for people who have a lot of decks, but have not come up with a monetary amount or what limits would exist. Our assumption was always to grandfather in early accounts (such as those created now) and learn from people's feedback.
Seeing it verbalized that this is frustrating is important, though, so thank you.
We'll add that as context on the site, and think through what a paid plan might look like.
