Apparently, the earlier pricing was better for us as customers because I had the option to opt for a lower price, i.e $10 per month with a one month commitment and see how the platform evolves and then sign up for other models post testing as needed.
I am not sure how long this new cohort will take to fill now. A slightly better option (looking back) would have been to take multiple options from the customer list and start with the one that meets the threshold.
