But higher inflation implying that “rates should go up” is central bank doctrine. It’s not a general law of how economies function.
Central banks intervening with interest rate adjustments is what distorts the prices of equities downward, when inflation rises.
Without central bank intervention, inflation should theoretically push equities higher (a highly-inflated economy driven by rising demand is by definition a well-performing economy!).
Central banks intervene because runaway inflation can be harmful to wage-earners (they save in dollars, not assets).
But I’m not sure if a 2–3% inflation target is ideal. It seems to me that this arbitrarily low inflation target restricts the growth of the economy in ways that might affect wage-earners, defeating the stated purpose of monetary policy, since higher rates also have the effect of curbing job growth as well as raising the cost of servicing mortgages.
Your pricing currently seems prohibitive for that kind of use case. Shouldn't it be usage-based so one can build a product where users can connect their apps without having to worry about arbitrary limits on plans? There should be a PAYG option that simply charges per connection, and automatic volume discounts.
