There's no indication of timeline. Great, they offer a month free, but what happens today if you don't upgrade? Tomorrow? Do your builds just stop? Do they stop at the end of the month?
The pricing is also.. remarkably high. It's not $19/mo for the feature, it's $19/mo for every git contributor who pushes to master. Even on a small team this ramps pretty quickly.
I really like(d) Netlify, and have no problems paying for services. Their starter plan was always surprisingly generous. But the way this change has been handled feels like a pure money grab and a bit of a f*ck-you to the users who have been working with Netlify in good faith.
Power to them I guess, but it leaves a bad enough taste that we'll look elsewhere now.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Within an hour of reading the mail we began moving our infrastructure to Cloudflare Pages.
Crying shame because I would have been willing to pay Netlify 20-30e per month. But going from 0 to 120e+ per month is just too steep to justify given the alternatives available.
