I was considering these guys the other day until I saw their pricing page: https://fly.io/pricing/

(There's not a single price on there, why even create the page?)

There's a link to what appears to be the actual pricing page https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/

There's also a link to the pricing calculator https://fly.io/calculator

It just proves they're not proud of their pricing imho. I shouldn't have to read a full page and figure out where to click after I have already clicked on the "pricing" navbar tab.

Too many GPU providers to keep track of, had to move on.

LOL. If you're not charging us for it, is there any other psychoanalysis you might be willing to provide?

Alternatively: sometimes, a weirdly-positioned pricing page is just a weirdly-positioned pricing page.

Psychoanalysis?

This is a technology review and discussion website. It's poor design to put a link to a pricing page and not list any prices.

You're literally the only GPU provider that does that.

I was trying to give you my perspective as a consumer since I know you frequent these forums but I apologize if I have offended you in some way.

You didn’t present a consumer perspective, you offered your hot take on why the company has set up the site in the way they did.

Is that calculator hourly or monthly?

It's right there: "Monthly Cost"

Literally says "Monthly Costs" in the green panel on the right that calculates the total.

OMG, that's hilarious. I use them, and I know what my prices are, but I'd never noticed that the page called pricing doesn't actually have any.

We've always had public pricing; you can't do a metered cloud provider without a rate sheet. But it's been part of our product documentation, rather than the front page of the website, until recently; there's a whole saga behind it, which gets into whether we offer "plans" or not, how support works, all that jazz, all of which kept us from putting together a marketing pricing page.

Yeah, I’m not trying to say you didn’t. After all, I wouldn’t have signed up just to find out the price. I just never noticed it wasn’t actually on the pricing page.

I'm overexplainey, because (looks around at whole thread). These aren't fun!

Anyways we've been dunking on ourselves for not having a proper pricing page longer than anyone else could have. :)

The prices are just one click deeper. Hardly a nefarious dark pattern.
