We are in fact in beta right now, so we expect to announce formal pricing in the very near future for the digitizer and excavator products.
Prices for new applications pushed with the API are always different. They're set based on the complexity and difficulty of the task. We have a few workers try out a new task to see how complex it is, then use that to establish a price so that workers can earn a fair wage.
Cannot commit to testing a platform that cannot commit to me a price of some sort? ... are they treating me like a crowdsourced beta tester?
