That'd be $1500/mo for 1,000,000 daily active users, right? (Which doesn't include infrastructure costs.) That doesn't sound prohibitively expensive...

You're off by 30x. It's $45,000 per month for 1 million DAU.

Here's an example from the horse's mouth.

"10,000 DAU (10,000 / 1000) * $1.50 * 30 = $450"

Ouch, yes: It's $1.50 PER DAY per 1000 daily active users. (I think everyone is so used to AWS prices being per month...)

It sounds completely reasonable to me ...
