i see ppl here frustrated with ellipsus' new paid tier which one hand, alright you're entitled to your feelings and whatnot. on the other hand, one of the co-founders talked about a paid tier years ago on an interview and so this isn't out of left field? it was always "if we establish a paid tier, we wouldn't sacrifice key features already there", and they followed through on that. i don't remember the exact words, but it did stick out at me because it made sense, and they didn't deviate from that framework. i'm actually excited for the next tier once i can spare the money! it's cute additions and i love that they have non-gen ai metrics
(also for those upset about the chat who don't know why it got moved, look on their faq: the collab chat is "powered by a paid third-party" and "rising costs and low usage" has made it difficult to keep on free. they didn't just move the chat for no reason, but with ellipsus' rising popularity, they couldn't afford to keep it free. unfortunate, but makes sense.)
anyway tldr ellipsus has been transparent on the big things ppl are frustrated about. i, for one, am happy with the free tier for now but will move to the plus once september comes around :)
