The Pitfalls of Overly Generous Free Tiers in Services

Free tiers are no stranger to web developers as many look to them to get them started on a new tool, try out hosting, or help with some basic design work.

For those relying on free tiers to do their work, this can spell disaster and even cause some businesses to shut down. In this episode, Matt and Mike discussed the dangers of free tiers, what they're good for, and why you should be ready to pay up at some point down the line.
