Hey Cameron,

I understand your concern. At this point, we have no plans to charge for Pathfinder. Furthermore, if you're concerned about future viability of the API, all of our code is MIT-licensed at https://github.com/csse497 so it can be self hosted.

What is your plan for long term profitability if you have no plans to charge for this? I am nervous building tech around a free service that may either transition to a deal-breaking price (google app engine) or may disappear entirely due to the business going under.

It looks like it's open source with an MIT License, so at least you should have the option to self host.

Likely they are working out the bugs before discussing pricing.

Routinely in my job I will produce a free of charge beta for testing purposes before we have price discussions.
