Q: In terms of this statement: "fair usage policy that at least one Boost.
space module (node) needs to be included in the scenario canvas"
why are we being restricted in our usage when even the highest tier is capped at a mere 200k operations?
i understand why you implemented that for people that signed up a year ago because they were given 800,000,000 operations to work with.
if my calculations are correct, sumolings get 0.025% of the operations previously given.
and yes, i understand that earlier adopters receive much more favorable terms...
but given the enormous difference between the two deals (800M vs 200k), why do we have to waste our time adding superfluous modules to our workflows?
i feel that the 200k limit should apply to workflows without boost modules and any workflows with boost modules should have much higher limits.

May 15, 2024A: Hey, thank you for your message.
Regarding the Boost.space module (node): This is part of a fair usage policy that we implemented with our partner Make.com. We believe that this way, using Boost.space as opposed to the Make.com platform is fair.
Now to the limits:
Earlier deals have different limits because they are based on completely different pricing model, for example they were limited by number of users and the licensing engine worked differently.
We changed the pricing model as a reaction on (ab)use of our earlier pricing - so in other words we learned from our mistakes, found a pricing model that will be more sustainable in a long term. It is also fair to say that I will always think (as you mentioned too) it is fair that the earlier our early-adopters jumped in, the better deal they should get. They were the first ones to believe in us and gave us initial feedback that formed our platform. That being said, now is a great (and still very early) moment to jump on board and enjoy amazing early adopter deal.
We also listened to the feedback of a community and added a subscription based $10/month addon that will increase your limits by 20k (you can choose if you want to increase monthly operations, records or mix of these). This should provide transparent (for you) and sustainable (for us) model to increase your limits to fit your usecase and to provide you a long-term value.
I hope this answers your question.
