I get your point but its $3/mo or $18/yr. If a diagram isnt worth 1.80 to you then you probably wouldnt have bought it even with pay as you go

I have always wondered if projects like this would be better off having a pay-as-you-go-model. One example:

  - Minimum account balance to start: $10.
  - $1/use 
  - Then top-off as you need 
  - no balance expiry (outside service going bust)

A credit based model with minimum add amounts like that does sound like a great alternative if people prefer usage based pricing. From what Ive seen usage pricing actually drives a lot of anxiety even if the end cost is lower

Auphonic has this model and I’ve been a happy on/off customer for 10+ years now. (They do audio processing.)
