Real cost of scaling Nuxt on netlify

I have a web app in Nuxt3 hosted on netlify.

Trying to figure out how the cost will scale as I go live.

The website will get some traffic but is largely brochure but it also serves a rest API that will be accessed via a mobile app. This will get smashed as I scale.

Netlify Pro gives me only 125k serverless function invitations per month. If I have 1000 users (I'm b2c) that's only 4 API calls per user per day... That's not going to work.

Same plan gives me 2 million edge function invocations gives me 600 API calls per user per day .. should be ok. Do I need to use the edge preset for this?
SERVER_PRESET=netlify_edge

I guess I'm just looking for some advice from anyone who has actually scaled out a Nuxt backend. Did you use netlify or similar or go to VPS? Did costs blow out? Did you need to refactor? Any help or refs appreciated
