Q: Why not allow BYOK
This is a hard pass with the one time credits.
I get that LLM is expensive and an ongoing cost. Why not allow Sumolings to bring their own api key from a major llm platform, and make this lifetime instead of glorified trial?

gnarzadigitalPLUSThis right here is the right answer. There could have at least been some amount of reasonable use included and if the risk is the llm cost, then let us use our own OpenAi or OpenRouter key. This LTD could have been a hit on launch if it was structured the right way. Will probably just stick with Firecrawl unless there is a reason to entertain this.
anders8PLUSThis is a great suggestion. I would definitely buy if BYOK was introduced.
Hi, we use many models in order to have the best performance and you should use 3/4 providers
anders8PLUSOn demand credits is another option. Nobody is here for monthly subscriptions. But I think that you know that by now ;)
zekeduckerPLUSThere's no way this is impossible lol. Your responses make me not want to buy this deal even more than the *unfortunate* deal terms đ (not sure why AppSumo would try to block this commentâhow bout some transparency guys)
