Some people don’t mind going for the 8 dollars for 100 pictures ike those that 
don’t use it that often. I’m one of those that doesn’t use it that often so 30 
or whatever I wouldn’t pay just like I’m choosing not to go the month route 
because it’s just not worth me paying monthly for. Now if I used it more often 
sure.

I think them having different rate plans is better than one price you have no 
choice but to choose.
