GR, Are you not able to squeeze each app into the free instance? Make sure you optimize, using memcache, reducing datastore calls, etc. to keep each request fast. Also, in your dashboard, you can adjust the number of instances that are spun up. That will increase the wait times for your visitors, but may be worth it. Compress js and css files, sprite images, cache responses.
GAE has taught me a LOT about optimizing. If, after doing that, you are still getting enough traffic to have to pay, you probably have enough quality traffic to monetize, helping defray the costs. Let me know the sites, and I'll see if I can ofer ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
