The third newsletter from Jason is out, with the charging details. We've known for a fair while this was coming. As from February 1st, every account holder was given a US$5.00 credit. There are fees for storage, views and usage. For me, it has worked out at about 50 cents (US) per week without any usage- i.e. basically just for storage. Seems manageable. There's provision for an email alert when your account drops below a chosen threshold.
From Newsletter 22/1:
"If your account falls below $0, SpotWalla will continue to provide and charge for the services used. If your account falls below $-12, your trips will no longer be viewable and device activity will cease. Adding funds to your account will first be used to recover outstanding debts. The remaining balance will be used for future activity."
It all comes back to how much you value your saved rides. Of course it will be very relevant to see how much a ride will cost. There will obviously be a tax on popularity, since page views attract a fee.
It will be interesting to compare notes in this thread with other users.
