I'd say the more intelligent way to head any of this off is to create billing alerts which you can now do and set it to page / email / post to an endpoint when you reach $X or X% of whatever worries you.
Create tiers of things that email / SMS additional people as the numbers go up if you want to be very careful etc...
I'd second that! It's not complicated, especially for smaller entities. "I'll use your services, but don't go
over ths amount; without authorization." If my wiz, bang app, website has that much potential--I'll get the money to
you. I don't want to wake up to a big bill. To be honest,
if they were very clear about pricing, and stop/loss orders; I think more people would sign up. It's about honesty, and
a minimizing the variables. Oh, and fire any MBA advisors;
they think they are slick, but your average dude us starting to look at the fine print, and has become very sensitive to
being taken advantage of. By the way, off topic, but relevant. I looked into esurance. Very good price. Then
I realized the premium was only fir six months. I always wondered how they could afford all those rediculous commercials.
If you have opted in for the "don't let me spend more than $x," then yes.
