A key partner we need to execute the site is looking for over $35k to use their API every year, plus an $8,000 set up fee. We’re bootstrapped and need to conserve cash. Aside from the fact that I find it hard to see how it costs them $35k per year to support a partner (they are a nonprofit, btw), I just don’t have the money right now. Time to negotiate… I was hoping to pay them less than $10k this year - less than 25% of what they want. Fingers crossed.
