Escape the MAR-Tricks! Choose the red pill.
The very system designed to keep you comfortable is the same one keeping you trapped. You pay only for rows that change. Simple, right? But the reality is quite different. MAR mechanics are designed to blow up when you scale. You expect to be paying for real data changes but you end up paying for the whole row, regardless of how little data you move on it. It lures you in with simplicity but the underlying mechanics is an alternate reality. Every connection follows its own pricing curve, the costs stop behaving logically, and forecasting your bill turns into a nightmare.
