I wanted to encourage people here to give it a try and get some feedback. The splash page doesn't do a great job of selling it by itself; I think you need to try it to see the value. The Free tier allowances are probably a bit generous though.

It's worth noting that the costs for this really are tiny - just a couple of servers. I've done the sums, and even with the business tier costing $20, the profit margins are significant.

The biggest unknown is how much support each user will generate, and that's probably a good reason to raise the business price. Anyone who signs up before then will be offered the existing price of course.

Based in the UK. The site already does some work with geolocating the user (for giving localised pricing and also for inferring date formats when you upload spreadsheets), so I suppose I could localise spelling too ;)
