J_HQ: What happens when your credits with AWS and OpenAI runs out?
I've been looking though your replies and every time someone asks you about how sustainable your business model is, you either reply that you have calculated costs clearly and are cautious about adding more credits to each tier or say that you have obtained lots of credits from AWS and OpenAI.
This confuses me, is your business model really that sustainable? Considering your paid customers are only 95 and MMR is abt 1k, what happens to lifetime users when your credits with AWS and OpenAI runs dry? What are you planning to do?
And please don't answer with another paraphrased answer of having calculated the costs of each tier or having been given credits from AWS and OpenAI. Lifetime users are a recurring cost & your credits won't last you forever. I'm sure we would be more reassured if you at least tell us a viable business plan/model.
Thanks for your questions, but I feel like our random competitor who claims random MRR numbers and paid customers.
I have already given my answer to you. You can do the math according to the number of people who will buy the tool * their usage * api cost * our credit limit.
We have done the math and we are confident about our decision.
Hope you can discuss with me with a sincere attitude
That's the exact issue I'm concerned about, you guys don't support BYOK, you insist on using your own API keys, and refuse to elaborate on your future plans to be profitable and sustainable.
Your math also doesn't work out, considering the more people buying the tool multiplied by their usage multiplied by the API cost then multiplied by the credit limit, it would definitely be well over the (1)
original cost they purchased from appsumo. And that's just in one month. Your AWS and OpenAI credits aren't infinite, and Appsumo users are a recurring cost.
I know you might be confident but personally I'm not. Just because you feel confident doesn't mean that us customers feel the same way too. And finally, to end off, please stop saying we aren't discussing with a sincere attitude. (2)
Just because we're voicing out questions and concerns doesn't mean we aren't sincere. Thank you. 😃
Thanks for the feedback and questions. We will optimize the API cost with like prompt caching and other ways.
