Is there a hard limit/upper cap?

What stops some spammer from ramming the bill?

This is very important. I'm rather averse to signing up for paid service which is only limited by the option I provide for payments. It took me years to be willing to put a service on autopay which is merely variable, such as a power bill.

So ideally, we have:

- free plan no CC needed (e.g. 100 submissions) - extended free plan with CC (e.g. 500 submissions) - paid plan with cost control (e.g. don't spend more than 25$)

Would that alleviate your doubts?

Cost control is important, but I appreciate that structure. I skipped all services like this because it costed me less to have a dynamic website hosted on digital ocean than a static website with a form service.

With this service that is pay-per-use, I can finally "afford it". Thank you!
