I'm sorry; we are actively working on our pricing model right now. (We today launched a 5-seats-for-free plan: https://retool.com/blog/new-free-plan-2022/.) I think charging for end-users does make sense, but we need to think about exactly how much (as you note). Thank you for your feedback!
Oh, while we are actively thinking about pricing, if Retool is out of budget for you, please do reach out to david AT. We are always happy to be flexible on price; our goal is to convince more people that Retool is a better way for building CRUD software, not to maximize revenue. We never want pricing to a blocker for anybody. (Reaching out to me is obviously not a long-term solution, but is a good one while we think about what our future pricing plans look like.)
