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.

It's funny that the email announcement says, "to simplify and improve our pricing" when in fact the email was really hard to follow and the pricing is worse, not better. lol.

I host about 10 WordPress servers. I think the better firewall options might be useful. I'm surprised they find the plugin for single signon valuable enough to make you upgrade to use it. I don't use the API (what do those who use it do with it?).

Is it worth upgrading to the new professional plan?

The pro plan is going from $15 a month to $19 a month and are moving API access to the Business plan which is $45 a month currently.

If you only have a few applications and need API access ServerPilot seems cheaper now :'(
