Q: How much will it cost to actually use the tool?

If it's "100 one-time free AI credits", will there be a cost later to actually use it?

What would this cost be?

And would there be free or more affordable alternatives for these credits?

A: Let me break down our credit system:
- Each credit costs $0.10
- One credit is consumed per AI "thinking" session, not per message
- A single conversation flow can use just 1 credit even with multiple back-and-forth messages
- A new credit is only used when the AI needs to process and respond to a fresh message thread

In real-world usage:
- Simple conversations typically use 2-3 credits
- Complex sales (like high-ticket items) might use 6-8 credits
- From our data, the average cost per successful conversion is quite reasonable. For example, one of our clients is converting 1 in 3 conversations, meaning they spend about 6-24 credits ($0.60-$2.40) per sale.

And honestly, you'll use way less credits than you might think. We have clients who bought 1,000 credits once and have been running with the same batch for months without needing to top up. The AI is efficient with its "thinking" cycles.

Look, it might seem more expensive compared to other solutions out there, but here's the truth: building an AI that's truly indistinguishable from human responses and can sell is neither easy nor cheap. There are plenty of chatbot tools out there that offer cheaper models and dump all the work on you to figure out. We've seen how that plays out - it's just a cheap way to make users do all the heavy lifting. We spent months figuring out these LLMs and fine-tuning our AI because we believe pushing that burden onto users isn't a real solution - it's just cutting corners.

We could not make the credits monthly as part of the LTD because they would have to be set so low for them to not put us in financial trouble (like most deals that go bankrupt after a year) that they would not be of much use to buyers as seen in other deals, forcing them to either top up anyway or upgrade their plans.
