1. I’m trying to understand the MAX model pricing. How do credits work? Is usage calculated at 0.25 credits per AI action, or 0.25 credits per conversation?
As a rough estimate, if a user asks about five questions and triggers roughly two custom functions, what would the total credit usage be? A ballpark estimate would be helpful. Thanks.

A: 0.25 per ai action. I would not say it is significantly better; I would say it's a lot cheaper and faster while still being about same quality. TikTok has still not started adn no eta yet.
This is very redundant and exclusive; we want more and cheaper options, not to be stuck with your prices and only Anthropic. We're seriously considering a refund because we're using it and it's good, but paying a high price and becoming dependent isn't a good long-term deal.
Then feel free to refund. We have tried all other models, but nothing is cheaper and still performs as well. it is not like you can just plug in a cheap model and expect it to work. That's the biggest illusion people have out there.
Public benchmarks are also not accurate for actual ongoing chats where people send back and forth hundreds of messages.
There's constant tool use back and forth. A real production system needs to be reliable 99 out of 100 times. If you can find a tool out there that's just as good or even comes close and that's cheaper, let me know.
Q: Clarification on Credits, Top-Up Pricing, and the new AI MAX Model
I am interested in using your built-in credit system rather than the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) option, but I need some clarity on ongoing costs to accurately calculate future expenses once the one-time AppSumo credits are exhausted.

1 credit is 10 cent. Credits are used for AI actions or infra cost such as buying phone numbers etc. With the new Max model all AI actions cost 0.25 credits. Credits per chat depend on how long you chats are. Simple products simpler chats shorter chats....
Q: Dark Mode?
Presale Q: Is it possible to switch to dark mode in the dashboard?

Q: Api models
Any plans to add other APIs? Anthopic is becoming a bit expensive to use.

If not, are you planning to add this?
