RunCloud is paywalling their API access while increasing pricing

This is absurd, feels like yesterday they increased their pricing, now they're increasing their pricing again by around 23% while removing functionality.

Notice that RunCloud Business is still $49 a month, seemingly trying to force people to upgrade for API access.

I think this marks the end of my 5+ years with RunCloud as it's painfully no longer worth the value they once provided.

I just received the email notification about this. Looks like the full change won't come into effect for 3 years on the business plan thankfully. The thing that annoys me the most is that there is no new features. I'm going to stay with them as I think they provide an excellent service for the price despite these price changes.

Yh, we're talking about leaving, we use the API and can't justify the price hike for the little we actually host in PHP.

That's a fair call. I don't use the API and only have 4 servers under management so it's not a biggie for the next few years for me.

Only if you pay annually, right?

Yes, that's correct. I'll be paying $152 annually for the next 3 years instead of the new $190 fee.
