Didn't even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I've been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

Sometimes it's free to make you lock into their ecosystem.

Once you have an account with them, there is less of a barrier to solve a problem you have by purchasing their service, especially when you feel like you got a lot of value for free from that company.
