Unlimited links? Dude... people can abuse your service to use as key-value database. Also, unlimited clicks on free plan? With no rate-limits? You might face a massive DOS attack.

Also, I heavily doubt you could afford those plans while still maintaining good QOS.

Anyways, best wishes for your journey :)

There are some measures in place to prevent bots and click-fraud. DOS is less of a concern, as everything is serverless and based on CF/S3. I'm actively experimenting with pricing and it could well change in the future. You've given me plenty to think about!

> It's largely free

Looks like it's $30/mo for a useful plan.

I'd like to offer a free version that is useful for non-pro users. I feel that a limit on link creation is a way to differentiate. That said, I'm still experimenting with pricing so this could well change.
