I agree in general but FYI Netlify's free tier now limits build minutes. It may end up being the lever that gets me to upgrade.

That’s interesting, thanks for the update. I think removing build restrictions still applies though. In netlify’s case they are trying to convert their large free base whereas this product is new and needs those free signups for future growth/conversion and I bet the build minutes aren’t going to be a huge cost. I would just throttle heavy users (deprioritize in the queue once you exceed 100 builds in a month or something). I wouldn’t even bother doing this work until/unless it’s a scaling or cost issue though, it may never be and saying the builds are “unlimited*” with some wording that excessive use may be throttled would be enough cya.
