Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Premium pricing too expensive
Users report the premium membership is very expensive, especially for Indian users and developers in lower-income regions. The free tier has very limited features, pushing users toward expensive paid plans. Pro is $9/month but Builder jumps to $119/month.
Free tier is too limited
The free tier only provides 400 monthly credits and 20 sandboxes for the entire workspace. Power users quickly hit these limits and face pressure to upgrade. The gap between Free and the $119/month Builder plan is significant.
