The cost per team member seems particularly egregious; I can't think of any other PaaS that does this OTOH
It's pretty similar to Netlify's per-user pricing and team limits. Which is ironic as we moved some our sites away from Netlify over to Render due to that pricing change and now the same thing is happening with Render.
We have been using Render for around a year now. It is a good service but this new pricing makes it impossible for us as a small bootstrap startup of 3 people to continue using it.
We have two teams, one for staging and one for production (they dont offer any other means of segmentation). So this means 120$ just for users. Thats more that we pay for compute...
If anyone has suggestions for alternatives I am all hears, going to be a fun Christmas I guess...

Apparently they've had this post on their forum since November: https://community.render.com/t/pricing-update-nov-2022-reque...
It's mind-boggling that they didn't think it necessary to surface this in the Render Dashboard, where users would actually see it.
I've been thinking about moving to fly.io, the only thing keeping me on Render right now is their Preview Environments.

• The Individual Plan is meant for personal projects, indie hacking, and for exploring Render without a credit card. It includes free email support, 100 GB in free bandwidth, and 500 free build minutes every month. There is no fee for this plan beyond compute usage.
• The Team Plan is ideal for smaller engineering teams building on Render. It can have up to 10 users and includes autoscaling, preview environments, email and chat support, 500 GB free bandwidth, and 500 free build minutes per team member. It costs $19 per user per month, plus compute usage.
• The Organization Plan is best for larger engineering orgs and teams with special compliance needs. It includes everything in the Team plan, along with prioritized support, custom compute instances, and 1 TB in free bandwidth. It costs $29 per team member monthly, plus compute usage.
• The Enterprise Plan includes everything in the Organization Plan and adds volume discounts, contractual uptime guarantees, strict support SLAs, and access to dedicated customer success engineers.
We're making two other changes to allow us to offer sensible compute pricing that scales with you:
• Egress bandwidth usage beyond a plan's free allowance will be charged at $30 per additional block of 100 GB. Inbound bandwidth will remain free.
• We're removing Starter Plus and Standard Plus instance types. Services already on these instances can continue to use them through 2023.
