Your platform it’s stunning, many useful and I really, really would like to use this solution to continue hosting my discord bot or other app that I’m going to develop.
But for what I need I find the price of 96 /y really too high... considering I just have to unlock the "Always On" feature, would be nice if there was a 48/y plan or more confortable 5$/month plan (obviously with half the resources).
It would be more accessible, and would allow many people like me to take advantage of your platform while cultivating a hobby that is not monetized. (with which to eventually re-enter costs)

Considering how generous the free plan Glitch offers, their paid plan is still competitive with others in the space. For $8/month on Glitch you can run 5 boosted projects, where as on Heroku one always available project will cost $7/month and on Digital Ocean it would cost $5/month.
Ultimately with all these services you’re paying for the ease of deployment and more specifically on Glitch you’re paying for a fully managed container. If you’re looking to save money it’ll come at the cost of complexity. You could host your project’s on AWS instances (which is actually what Glitch does) for a fraction of a cent per hour, but you have to manage network routing, Linux patches, DNS, and load balancing.

What you say makes perfect sense, but in fact I do not ask for discounts, only an additional plan that includes half the resources and that fits better to more contained needs (for example, it would be good for me to have two projects instead of 5)
perhaps, maybe this could be a feature idea>
I orginally posted as feature idea but I believe @RiversideRocks he decreed it was a feedback.

I’d say that 96/y is not that bad. Especially since it is low cost.

It’s less than 2$ / month for each boosted projects.
