Pricing is hard, and we have gotten a lot of complaints about the complexity of cost-prediction with our current model over time. We have also found that we need to introduce a small base fee in order to provide our service to smaller companies without losing money.
So today we are announcing a [new pricing](/pricing.md) that is hopefully going to simplify things for you as a customer, and for us as a business.
Here is what we are changing:
1. We are adding a free plan (100 MB / month), ideal for personal projects or very small sites.
2. The next plan is $19 / month, includes 6 GB of service usage, and every additional usage is charged at $3.50 / GB.
3. GB discounts are available by choosing a plan with a higher base fee.
## The transition plan
Effective immediately, you are being switched to a "Transition Plan" that is $0 / per month, includes 0 GB, and every additional GB is charged at $3 / GB.
If your last bill was below $80, you will save up to $5 / month.
If your last bill was above $80, you should probably switch to one of the new plans (see below) immediately to save money.
You can stay on the Transition plan until March 1. Unless you manually selected a new plan, you will be switched to our $19 / month plan at that point if you were using more than 100 MB in February.
## New plans
Our new plans are as follows:
* **Free plan:** $0 / month, 100 MB included, no additional GB possible.
* **Tricycle:** $19 / month, 6 GB included, $3.50 per additional GB
* **Bicycle:** $49 / month, 16 GB included, $3.20 per additional GB
* **Motorcycle:** $99 / month, 35 GB included, $2.85 per additional GB
* **Truck:** $179 / month, 70 GB included, $2.60 per additional GB
* **Bulldozer:** $299 / month, 125 GB included, $2.40 per additional GB
* **Airplane:** $499 / month, 225 GB included, $2.20 per additional GB
* **Satellite:** $749 / month, 375 GB included, $2.00 per additional GB
* **Rocket:** $999 / month, 560 GB included, $1.80 per additional GB
(Note: Storage and Thumbnail GB count as 10%, audio encoding as 25% of their actual usage.)
Unless you were paying less than $19 per month before, these new plans are generally going to reduce your monthly service costs. You can upgrade and downgrade any time.
## Custom plans
If you had a custom plan with us in the past, nothing changes for you.
## Help, I'm unhappy with this!
Pricing changes are notoriously tricky to get right, and we know this one is no exception and we've probably missed a case or two.
So if you have any problem with our new pricing, just open a support ticket and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy!
## Feedback
We have talked to a lot of our customers before making this change, but we can never learn enough about our customers, so feel free to provide us with any feedback you may have.
