Regional pricing
Inkarnate is a nice site for making rpg maps, im sure it could get used all over the world but its almost unusable without premium and due to the only currency available being dollar it can get incredibly expensive for some countries. Making it just unavailable for most people of them and reducing sales on that countries.
For example in R$ ( Brazillian real ) the cheapest monthly one being US$ 7,99 = R$ 40,78 and the monthly creator being R$ 76,49. ( About 5% of one’s monthly salary. )
Which is incredibly expensive and will make most people that need to make an map for whatever reason check inkarnate, like it, see its pricing and look for a cheaper alternative.
I get that not adding regional pricing might be over the fear of a few people using VPN to pay cheaper but limiting the site for only USA users seems like a bad tradeoff, considering that you would be able to get more sales around the world and advertise it as a site with regional pricing available for multiple countries.

I also really aprove this idea and would like to add to the post that, with the browser information, and the card used in the payment (if no card was used, almost any other payment method will also have some kind of country info) you already create a giant problem for someone to overcome if they want to abuse the regional princing and pay as someone from other country, that almost everyone already give up in trying, and the ones that dont and manage to do it, will be by far outnumbered in the ammount of new subscribers and users that will benefit from it
This post likely wont recieve much attencion from the comunnity because the majority are probably from NA and EU, but i really think it would be a Win-Win situation for the inkarnate team and people from all around the world
