I am sorry but https://www.loop54.com/pricing is just totally snied. No monetary information whatsoever. Why even blag me to a pricing page with less than zero pricing honesty.


You're absolutely right, of course. We're in the process of fixing that.

The TL;DR is that we're offering customers more flexibility than the tiered model suggests. Consequently there's a large variability in what customers pay. A number on the pricing page turned out to be more misleading than helpful for our target audience.

The long-term solution is creating a more flexible pricing model that can be very transparent. We are working on that. (Though as you know, generic, modular solutions take a while to get just right, unfortunately.)

We didn't think a short-term solution was needed, but based on your comment, that might be worth reconsidering. The best I can think of is a 90 % range of what customers actually end up paying for each tier. What suggestions do you have?


Ya just to mention, the last company I worked for had a policy of not working with any company that doesn't clearly disclose pricing publicly. I've adopted that one too.


Some idea is better than nothing but having a pricing link with zero substance does really really erk especially when your trying to market yourself here as a viable Algolia alternative. They at least give some price points.
