So, if I built out 10 RPi based thermometers, that would be $40/month just to get a quick API?

If I added a humidity sensor, that would add another $50/month?

That's pretty steep. Granted, you could be targeting corporate and this starts to make some sense. That kind of pricing really does make it impractical for home users. You're already targeting an audience with some tech savvy and it doesn't take much to write a Python app to serve an API.
