Quote

Summary
A podcast app developer moved to the free Podcast Index after a paid API's $100/month became unaffordable at launch. Dave says pay-per-use pricing is annoying when you can't predict usage, but at the low end you aren't paying for something you don't use, which can decide whether a product launches at all.
