I do love the HN community sometimes, that's two people who've told me my startup will fail because I've decided Caddy's commercial licence isn't a sensible option for me, yet neither has actually understood the details of the change.

It's $100/month for 2 instances, you can only pay annually, so $1,200 is the minimum you can pay and it nets you two instances, not 24.

If it was $100 for a year and included 5 license to cover live and dev environments, I'd probably have just bitten the bullet and paid for it. I don't really care for the "basic email support" being offered, I just want to serve web traffic.
