Hey Daniel, what are the plans for monetizing apps I build in the marketplace? Will I be able to define my own prices?

Good question!

Yes! Eventually we will support paid modules (the building blocks of the apps you see in the marketplace) that allow developers to define a price and a license. That will in turn dictate how much an app would cost a user to use.

For example, you can imagine a Twilio module that costs a penny to use, so the end user of the app would be charged a penny per use.
