Yeah, that’s right. It's free if you're not making serious money with it. But if your app's pulling over $10k/year, I ask for a commercial license, it would be rather reasonable.

I’m solo on this, and I’d like to put some (better) food on the table — that’s really the reason behind it.


Doesn't that put the ball a bit far in your court? Once they're already up and running is where you get to dictate any terms to them that would be slightly better than them having to rewrite it with something else.

I get the concern, but I’m not trying to squeeze anyone.

If someone’s making $10k/year using Dataphyre, I’d be genuinely happy with $5/month. I’m just trying to keep this alive and sustainable as a solo dev.

It’s not about control. It’s about being able to put food on the table without VC pressure or paywalls for everything.
