Congrats on the launch!

One note on the pricing: it would kind of bum me out to pay $250/month for $100/month in credit.

That feels like I'm losing $150/month.

Totally makes sense. We do offer a pure PAYG tier (starter) that scales completely dynamically to workload

But seems like this may be less about the absolute price but more about the way the 100/month of credit feels?

What do you think could be better? The intention of the 250/month scale tier was intended for companies scaling up that want BYOC for data residency etc. etc. and give them enough to test things internally without worrying about an overage bill before running it directly on prod but this might be able to be implemented better.
