Price Per Read
Is anyone willing to share what price they are paying per read. We used to be on a user based plan and paid around $30k annually. We were then forced to move to a usage based plan where our cost skyrocketed to $250k annually. I was mostly ok with this because our usage and apps had grown significantly. The next year we had another increase in price of $100k making our total $350k annually.
Well we are now up for renewal again and I was told that our account is being flagged and that we now have an additional $200k increase, which makes our total $550k annually. Keep in mind that our usage and apps has not changed in 2 years now. I was told that the driving factor was that we were receiving a price per read of 17 cents and the current MSRP is 24 cents per read. I have been reading on reddit and here that people are getting a price per read of 11 cents.
So we went from $30k/year to $550k/year in just 3 years. How can they do this? What action can we take to keep from having to pay these outrageous prices?
