Low-Cost Option Above "Free Trial"?

Hi,

I'm developing a project to monitor and manage about 50 Tuya and SmartLife devices in my home. I'm using a combination of scheduled API calls and the Messaging Service to keep my view up to date. My solution is working well so far.

The problem is that the monthly messaging volumes will exceed the allowance in the Trial Edition, and at current rates my account will be disabled about half-way through the month.

I would be very happy to pay a small amount for an adequate number of messages and API calls. If you look at the current pricing for the extended plans 1 million API calls and 1 million messages should cost about $5 US, which I'd be perfectly happy to pay. However there doesn't seem to be any way to set that up. The only option I have found is to subscribe to the "flagship edition" which is being quoted at $25k per year. That's completely impossible for me. (I'm retired and that would be a major slice of my whole income.)

Is there an option so that I can pay a few dollars a month for an appropriate service?

If so, please could someone provide a link or instructions so I can sign up for it?

Thanks, Andrew
