Tech companies have been doing this for the last 10 years or more and people didn't learn it yet.
They seduce you with a generous free tier that is so generous that you can even build production stuff for free.
They have only a few paid features in a cheap tier that you will probably need only when you app is big enough and making you money, so you don't see any problems and go all in.
A few years later, when the market have adopted the tool and the tool is the "go to" tool, almost the de facto standard... BOOM!
They change their pricing model and it gets really expansive, but the you have two alternatives, pay their price or change your app.
You usually pay their price because change your app is too expensive: you need to tell your boss to change the app and your boss needs to tell their boss to change the app; the boss of your boss will blame them and your boss will blame you.
NOBODY wants this happening.

Hi all Justin (Founder Authsignal), check out <authsignal.com> and our auth0 integration https://docs.authsignal.com/integrations/auth0
We built this integration for this very reason, we were frustrated Auth0 users and met many who found certain features especially being MFA extorted. We're commited to keeping core features volumetric and creating value add on our fraud ops automation tooling. We'd love feedback and if you're a frustrated auth0 please drop us a line [email protected]

To add authsignal can be integrated into any auth stack, so there's no need to face migration nightmares, just to get MFA into your application.
If this was similar to my similar reaction when using them, they make you switch to an enterprise plan after you exceed 10K monthly users.
Reminds me of Pinata where they recently changed their pricing and I went from needing a $20/month plan to $1000/month.
Same - for what Pinata was going to charge us monthly I racked a cheap server in our colo and just let go-ipfs tear it apart.
go-ipfs isn’t great but it’s better than what Pinata tried pulling here.

Firefox users will want to pay attention to the "Enhanced Tracking" warning in their FAQ: https://www.unddit.com/about#firefox due to the XHR being labeled as "Tracking" by FF
[–]snuffaloposeidon 4 points 21 hours ago previously, MFA was a feature in their "Essentials" plan, which was $23/month per tenant for 1000 monthly users. Now, to get the same MFA features, we need to upgrade to their "Enterprise" plan, which is $27k/yr for 1000 monthly users. Hope that helps.
