SaaS pricing is so weird because for so many things because the cost to run per user is almost zero, but then the company is spending tens or hundreds of millions of dollars developing the software.

Evernote once had a valuation of nearly 2 billion, and like 400 employees.

I replaced it with Obsidian which gives me more value and it was mostly just made by two people, now they list 9 employees, one of whom is the office cat.

Each company for me was just syncing some text and maybe a few larger things like PDFs. The actual cost of that is pennies per year.
