We are a free product.

only for first few customers. After that you'll want new customers to open their wallets for you. You are not a charity. So cut the BS please.

I don't really want to argue but we have been pretty open about the fact that we want to keep this product free for users going forward as well. We have been pretty clear about our plan to monetize additional features but the focus now is to democratize this technology.

I think that parent’s tone is way too combative. But the “Pricing” page on your website[1] only says that the service is free for early users.

  One Plan

  It's pretty simple. Early users get free forever access to Codeium.

It does not say whether all future users will have to pay or only those who want additional features. The wording strongly suggests the former.
