Why we limit submissions for free users on Releasebot

If you're here, you're likely wondering why Releasebot limits free users to three submissions. There are four reasons:

1. We review every submission manually

Releasebot uses a fair amount of AI technology to process the release note sources in our catalog, but a real person still reviews every source submission manually to ensure our data quality stays as high as possible. This takes time, and Your Pro subscription helps cover it.

2. Costs are higher for submitted sources

If you're submitting a source that no one else follows yet, Releasebot incurs costs to keep an eye on that source just for you. Additionally, we incur a fair amount of cost to backfill the releases that are parsed from the source you submit on its first run.

3. To prevent abuse

Unfortunately, Releasebot's submit form has been subject to misuse by bad actors. The Releasebot Pro payment acts as a gate to encourage responsible use.

4. There's a 10-release limit on the free digest

Free users who submit sources are more likely to hit the 10-release cap on their daily email.

Allowing free users to make too many submissions - which leads to Releasebot curating releases they may not ever see in their digest - is wasteful anyways.
