Looks clear enough to me right? They took a plan, but are using more than that plan offers, so they&#x27;re being offered a plan that does offer what they&#x27;re using.<p>It does show the reason why you shouldn&#x27;t go for a vendor lock in like this, especially when your entire business depends on it.

It’s alllll fun and games until the SaaS you 100% rely on decides to become profitable

Looks like he was paying $40&#x2F;m for 2TB of bandwidth. No wonder he drew their attention.<p>And before you give me the BW is cheap speech realise that this is about segmentation not IP packets.<p>Moving the heavier assets to a more specialised domain would have been trivial.

&gt; Your current [plan] allots 400GB monthly ... your usage is 3-5x<p>What I&#x27;ve never understood about Webflow is why do people host their site with Webflow (for exactly the reasons above)<p>You can create&#x2F;update your site with Webflow, but &quot;publish&quot; it to your own server (which might be a cheap $10&#x2F;mo hosting provider that given large or unlimited bandwidth)<p>The website will likely be even faster hosting it elsewhere as well, it&#x27;s radically cheaper, and you have more control yet don&#x27;t lose any of the benefits.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;university.webflow.com&#x2F;lesson&#x2F;code-export?topics=hosting-code-export" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;university.webflow.com&#x2F;lesson&#x2F;code-export?topics=hos...</a>

Really getting tired of SaaS-makers relying on serveless, not monitoring or controlling ANYTHING, and then trying to put the service they use on blast publicly to try to negotiate themselves a special deal.

Isn&#x27;t this trivially fixable by putting a cdn&#x2F;cache in front of the webflow site? Does webflow prevent this somehow?

If you were 3x-5x over the bandwidth limits for your pricing tier for multiple months in a row you were living on borrowed time…<p>Is this on Webflow to continue to allow usage wayyyy out of accord with their pricing or the site owner to monitor and understand their own bandwidth consumption?

This is vendor lock-in 101 unfortunately, and why I&#x27;ve always steered clear of VC-backed companies that offer &quot;all-in-one&quot; solutions that can&#x27;t be migrated easily. Another company that does something similar (builds WYSIWYG landing pages with marketing analytics) is Unbounce, and they jacked up their prices too, but not to this level.<p>It was clear from Day 1 that Webflow&#x27;s webpage building software with HTML export was a trial run for a hosted CMS. That&#x27;s how they get ya.

First rule of a dealer: do not bankrupt your customer. Their pricing needs to be more transparent and more gradual.

I see two different issues here, one is that allegedly Webflow added the traffic limits later. If they substantially change the rules, this is something I&#x27;d mostly blame the company for as you can only work around that by not using any SaaS products.<p>The other issue is that it looks like they have a bunch of nice, well-defined plans for the low end. They have all their limits and prices spelled out on the pricing page. And then they have an enterprise plan that seems to start quite early in terms of traffic, and you can&#x27;t see those prices beforehand. And given the report here, those prices seem to jump enormously compared to the public plans. That is a very deceptive practice as they&#x27;re not telling you the rules and prices beforehand.

Why can&#x27;t SaaS implement a proper throttle after quota is exhausted? If customer sees value, customer can pay to raise quota.<p>At least this used to be possible in most hosting plans in old days.

It&#x27;s not the only one doing this.<p>It almost feels like a final squeeze before some kind of collapse.
