Overage pricing

At a glance

The community member who posted the original post is happy to see the overage pricing, but suggests it may need to be adjusted. They note that the overage pricing of $20 per 100k page views is the same as a new plan that includes 100k page views and 20GB of storage, and they feel the overage pricing should be less. Other community members discuss the reasoning behind this, with some suggesting that the current overage pricing makes it more attractive for customers to open a second account to get more storage, and that the assumption of not needing more storage may be incorrect. The company representative responds that they will likely add more storage to the $20 package once they have more data, as so far it has not been needed, but that may change with certain future features.

I'm happy to see the overage pricing posted, but perhaps it needs to be adjusted. At $20 per 100k page views it is the same price as a new plan that includes 100k page views, but a new plan also includes 20GB of storage. In general, though it seems like it should be less. My 2 cents. Thanks.

Hi David, the overage pricing was there all the way, we only added a slider to the page if that's what you mean.


Why do you think it should be less, what's your reasoning?
David's reasoning looks pretty clear to me.

Current overage-princing makes it more a attractive for customers to open another account (and profit from double total amount of asset-storage). Sticking to one account with repeated over-traffic still means only having 20 GB of storage available.
One would assume more storage would be needed here, where in our experience there is no need.
traffic grows disproportionally to storage space
so this sounds like a wrong assumption, that's why I wanted to hear from David
In general, though it seems like it should be less.

Also not clear if he means it should be less than $20 or less than 20gb on initial pro
Yeah, I think that if you don't need the extra storage, it's just a hassle to manage two accounts for extra storage you probably won't use. However, I think that psychologically, having extra storage feels like more value for the same money.
@Oleg Isonen - I was referring to the cost. Yes, I was responding to perceived value. If A+B+C is valued at $20 and if an additional C is also $20 then either the additional C is over priced or A and B are of little or no value. The Pro LTD T2 includes unlimited asset storage ... suggesting either there is a need for it, or it was added to bolster the perceived value.
I see, yeah we will most likely add the storage to that $20 package once we have more data, so far it isn't needed, but with certain future features it may change
