I've actually been seriously considering adding a pay as you go plan, where you pay for only per the number of requests you make,is this something that would interest you? The current prices are an extended Cyber Monday offer, I figured I'd let it run into the holidays.

Unfortunately it's never going to be spot on all the time.

Awesome points on the example ips and adding error handling documentation. Thanks for pointing me to rfc5737!

I'm adding the Error Code documentation right now.

Added a table with Error Codes and their accompanying messages.



It's more fun to sell metered services to people than "plans". You can get the best of both worlds by having a per unit price, and then giving people discounts for committing to certain usage levels.

Plans are kind of a pain because you have to have a sales process to get people to change. Mailchimp automatically upgrades/downgrades people between plans, which is a decent workaround, but still a little weird to customers.


I bet you mean something along Postmark's pricing https://postmarkapp.com/pricing.

I'm probably going to start work on incorporating this soon. Thanks for the input!


Yep! Also will you email me? We're working on some stuff I'd like to run by you. :D


Yeah definitely, you can reach me at jonathan at ipdata dot co. Feel free to reach out any time!
