Episode 20 of The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo digs into the hidden cost of API pricing models—using Twilio's 2024 pricing overhaul as the central case. Lucas and Luna break down why per-request pricing breaks at scale, how usage-based models create trust issues with developers, and what a predictable alternative looks like. They walk through the specific math of a hypothetical SaaS company that hits a $50,000 monthly API bill overnight, and explore why transparency in billing is becoming a competitive moat. If you're building or buying API products, this episode will make you rethink how you charge—or get charged.
