Unexpected viral success?

Side Hustle Insurance

So your SmythOS usage metrics just skyrocketed – and so did the invoice?! (Don’t worry, we’ve got your back on this.)

We see this pattern regularly with passion projects that suddenly catch fire. In fact, it happened to us when we used Posthog, and they helped us out, so we want to do the same thing for others.

First off, major kudos on your unexpected traction! It’s exactly the kind of challenge you want to have – and hopefully the first chapter of something extraordinary.

Let’s be real, SmythOS doesn’t thrive by charging hobbyists and tinkerers excessive fees. We’re invested in your long-term journey.

That’s why if your first month comes with a surprisingly large bill due to a traffic surge, we’ll credit your task costs back to you.


Here’s what qualifies:

We are building a brand our customers love. We believe that means we do the right thing for our customers.


  • It’s your initial bill exceeding a dollar or activity jumped >200% compared to your typical usage in the previous quarter
  • The portion of your bill that relates to task execution
  • You’re pre-revenue or working on a side project
  • You can see how our entire company operates. We build in the open, you smythos-list-itemscan even join our weekly team meetings!

Simply contact us through our discord community and we’ll make it right. You might also want to check out our strategies for optimizing your costs moving forward.

Keep crafting incredible innovations. We’re excited to see where you take things next! ✨
