We should do an Ask HN about this :). Would love your feedback on what makes most sense.
People have messaged me asking for pricing tiers based on rate limits / usage, or purchasing company machines to run all apis from, or even paying for extra privacy (like on github).
To be completely honest, I'm not sure. I would say charge by the total amount of time the VMs have run, but I have no idea how the costing will work out.
That's a great point. And since people aren't running dedicated machines, only paying for the requests that happen, it could even be cheaper than spinning up your own server. Interesting!

This looks like a great service!
Is there a way to sign up for a paid account or a credit system? I don't want to burden you guys with the costs of my API requests.

What's most fair / makes most sense for you?

Good luck!
