Once it's out of alpha you can self-host this project
It sounded to me like once it’s out of alpha the pricing model is “TBD, but likely pay-per-print”.
This is really cool. I used to enjoy toying with thermal printers until I found out the paper is coated with a very fine dust of BPA. Still they sell thermal printer cameras on Amazon marketed for children
I do get the impression companies are beginning to move back to traditional printed receipts, at least a bit, here in the UK.
The "Delete Account" button does nothing. Very clever user retention technique.

I really like the proposal from black_puppydog here. Free forever self-host and a pay-per-print in case you want to have support or don't want to hassle with the infrastructure. Like Coolify is doing it.
Is there something out there like this that is self-hosted? It’s ridiculous that this isn’t, and it’s going to become a pay-per-print model?! I don’t care about the AI nonsense, it’s a printer. I could see myself using something like this to print recipes. I’d like to avoid getting my fancy cook book dirty, but have still have recipe in the kitchen to reference. Phone works okay until you have to scroll with dirty/we…
I was surprised by this, but you can install a driver and simply print to these printers. Or, at least, the one I purchased is that way. You can also use lp, lpr, or nc to send text and codes to it. Mine is connected to my network via Ethernet. No RPi is required to send stuff to it from any computer on the network.

The fact that they make a loud noise every time an order comes through is useful for a restaurant kitchen, too.
The Epson TM-U220 is one model to consider.
Alas it seems built around a specific thermal printer, isn't generic.
