I would gladly pay a monthly fee for this service.

I don't follow you - can you elaborate?

Basically a service that makes it so you dont have to setup your own reverse proxy to make requests to apis that dont have cors enabled

Sadly doesnt support the PUT or DELETE http verbs so I'll have to setup my own proxy :/

I wanted this as well. But, the business model might be hard to sustain. Most of us might use it for prototyping and then move to server-side for production. Or, the original API provider might support CORS sooner or later.
