The pricing most definitely needs to be simpler. The calculations on there and numbers used will turn away a lot of people. Think simple simple simple when it comes to user facing messaging and pricing.

^couldnt agree more. both packaging and presentation of the subscription tiers being simplified would help imo. that said, certainly a/b test that!
Yep, fixed the presentation and pricing.
Suggestion regarding pricing: two or three flat-fee tiers, each with a cap on traffic (after which you can just drop requests, or do whatever you want) and then a tier with a minimum + variable charge by traffic for higher usages.
This is just what I was thinking in the shower....
done
Your pricing is currently out of order -- $5 for 1 million, then $350 for unlimited, then $75 for 5 million
Yep!
Here's an example that describes that strategy:
"Different Levels of Pricing" https://www.helpscout.com/blog/pricing-strategies/
What I Like - The feature set and the clean look
What I cannot find - A demo on the home page itself. Not be required to click a "live demo" button
What turned me away - The pricing strategy. As a dev, I love the pricing. As a user, I dislike the pricing. Just give me a flat price and call it a day. Especially applicable for small blogs, newbies and people who don't yet have traffic. That breakdown just indicates to me that I will have no idea what my end bill would be like, especially if my blog starts gaining any traction.
That pricing page also probably limits your audience to a small subset. I showed your pricing page to someone non-technical and they pretty much lost any interest.
