Your new pricing model has left me feeling extremely frustrated.
I’ve been a paid customer of Vercel for over a year now. It worked well, and I started working on several projects, paying every month because I received all the support I needed. However, just a few days ago, you changed the pricing model, and it’s truly detrimental.
We had been using prompt-based charges, which was a great option. We planned our daily prompt usage and worked on medium to large projects using Vercel v0. But unfortunately, the token has already been exhausted, just for resolving errors generated by v0 itself. The credits were depleted in less than five days, and I have 25 days left.
Now, I can’t work on my project anymore. If $20 was exhausted in just five days, I can’t imagine how much more I’ll have to pay to continue working on Vercel. It’s essentially “extortion.”
So, what do I do? I’ve switched to Windsurf and will continue working on my project that you can’t stop me from. But what happens after this? I don’t want to work on my project on Vercel anymore because it’s impossible. Once I download the project locally and resume working with Windsurf, and maybe after 25 days when I get my credits back in v0, maybe I want to resume working on Vercel. But that won’t happen or it is “impossible” because you don’t provide a way to upload large projects in the chat.
This means that I’ll never be able resume or complete the 25 days worth of work on Vercel. Everyone will eventually leave because there’s no way to continue working on Vercel after they download and start working locally. Maybe a few people will keep paying whatever you charge them and I would like to say all the best!
