Why we charge $15/mo instead of per-seat or per-API-call
Most SaaS pricing punishes growth. Add a team member? Pay more. Get more traffic? Pay more. Use the API more? Pay more. It's a tax on success.
PageKit charges a flat $15/mo for Pro. Here's why.
The per-seat trap
Per-seat pricing means your bill grows linearly with your team. A 5-person team pays 5x what a 1-person team pays — even if they're all using the same features. It discourages collaboration.
Per-API-call is worse
Per-API-call pricing means you're penalized for building a good product. More users = more API calls = higher bill. You're successful, so you pay more. It's backwards.
Project-based pricing
PageKit scales with your project list, not your team size or traffic. One project is free. Three projects is $15/mo. Ten projects is $79/mo (Team, 10 seats flat). Your team can grow without per-seat tax.
The result
Flat pricing means you can:
- Add team members without worrying about cost
- Scale traffic without budget anxiety
- Focus on building, not metering
That's the PageKit way.
