Yep but the first stage is free and is honestly more than enough for a small website/app (which I guess is the target if 95% Pier setups). Then more processing power (or a background job queue) starts at $35. Database is free up to 10k rows ($9/month up to 10M rows). If you want more data/robustness/speed a database with a 400MB cache is $50/month. I don't know the size of a typical smalltalk webapp but it seems to me that 80% of them are pretty lightweight. The remaining 20% probably already have their custom setup suiting their needs. But I would love to be completely wrong. On 28/01/13 10:55, Sven Van Caekenberghe wrote:

It's hard to evaluate the market size for a Pharo/Seaside PaaS. Who would pay for it? How much? Do you mind paying 10~20â¬/month per app for a small instance?
Euh, that seems like extremely cheap - I am not a RoR/Heroku user, but it seems they are way more expensive, hundreds of $ per month for anything non-trivial, right ?
