How we worked out the bill
| Store size | Per month | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| Small, 300 orders | $0 | 40 new images fit in the 50 free optimizations a month1. |
| Growing, 2,000 orders | $4.50 | 200 images − 50 free = 150 × $0.03 = $4.50 a month1. Beginner would cost $14. |
| Large, 10,000 orders | $14 | 800 images fit in Beginner's 1,500 a month, $14 billed monthly1. Pay as you go would cost 750 × $0.03 = $22.50. |
