We wanted to make sure that all 3-stacker can lock down and enjoy the Influencer feature set for life. (Even the ones to come)
Unfortunately, encoding makes up the bulk of our costs why it wouldn't be feasible for us to give Sumo-lings the same quota at such a low price point.
We could have locked the Influencer plan behind a 10-stack, but we feel that making the Influencer feature set accessible for most people (3-stack) but reducing the monthly encoding the best way to go.
And please keep in mind that you can stack unlimited codes. So you can potentially make your Influencer account more powerful than our regular one.
