Pissed about API v2 Pricing

[teamLA]

I just want to comment at how disappointing Shipstation has been, as a monopolistic company.  Users dealt with YEARS of having subpar features (ie: 6 years for a toggle to hide left sidebar) and waiting YEARS for feature improvements (ie: 8 years for better product importing). 

I am flaberggasted that every new feature is an additional monthly "add-on."  I'm especially pissed that Shipstation's v1 API hasn't been updated since 2021, but v2 will be an additional $75/month.

So it's an extra $75 a month for the Shipping API, and also an extra $30 a month for the Inventory API.

The new API doesn't have access to orders, products and customers. Are those going to be extra and separately priced, too?

Is the current V1 API going away? Is V2 (paid) going to be the only API option for us?
