Flat Rate Pricing FTW

This week's AWS billing glitch had developers waking up to invoices in the billions—and even trillions—of dollars. Thankfully it was just a bug, but it perfectly illustrates something I've never liked about usage-based pricing.

When I built FeatureFlags.app, I made one decision early: flat-rate pricing. No pricing calculators. No surprise invoices. No wondering if your bill is going to double next month.

I want customers thinking about shipping software, not watching a billing dashboard like it's the stock market. Cloud infrastructure is complicated enough. Your SaaS pricing doesn't have to be.

Sometimes boring is the best feature.
