A nice example of transparent credit pricing

Came across this HubSpot piece on credit-based pricing. The article was published yesterday - suspiciously timely after last night's conversation on credits and transparency :-)

@Rob Litterst

, were you behind this one?

Found it quite insightful. I particularly liked the screenshots showing in-product cost labels at the point of action. HubSpot uses a credit badge on the data agent, whereas Airtable gives you a breakdown of what exactly your credits buy you.

It's the difference between getting a surprise bill at the end of the cycle and watching the meter tick as you are using the product (so that you know when to stop spending). Great for building trust.
