They never answered my question about the discrepancy between these prices and the prices on their website. Both would be too high to make Restaurants low sales sustainable.
That said, I'll say again that they were perfectly in their right to start charging for their API. They just should not have done so with 4-days notice and with such a threatening email.

The only business case I can think of for this is if you save all the data in your own database then serve requests for your own service out of your own cache. I guess if the Yelp data doesn't change very often, then you just choose to stay 6-months behind on the data or something...
