I believe our price per read is lower than yours, but we, like you, switched to the read model and signed a 3 year contract and I FOUGHT and FOUGHT because they did the same thing to us - signed us on at a low rate then price gouged us.
This is a common complaint, and I too wonder what we can do to fight back. They will double, triple, and 10x your cost once you are in for a few years. In my opinion it is a very dirty business practice. I do love Quickbase, but I have stopped recommending it to companies for this very reason.
I don't know that there is much we can do besides stop recommending Quickbase until they stop their price inflation. However, they will continue to just offer really low prices for people to try it, then gouge them after 2 years also. You don't realize the gouge until you are committed.
If it helps (misery loves company) you are certainly not the only one. The amount of people that have said this in the community, it does appear that this is Quickbases business model.
