A: Hey psycho2 👋!

I totally understand not wanting subscription systems! The good news is SheetXAI doesn't have any recurring charges with this LTD - everything is one-time purchases.

You have two options:

1. Buy AI credits from us (one-time purchase, never expires)
You can buy 5k credit packs anytime at https://appsumo.com/account/products/ as add-ons. These credits never expire and there's no monthly renewal. You just buy them once and use them whenever you want. For most users doing Excel/Sheets operations only, a 5k pack lasts about 4 months, unless they use sheetxai everyday every second.

2. BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) - also no subscription needed
You can get API keys from providers like OpenRouter, OpenAI, Claude, etc. These also aren't subscriptions - you just pay for what you use directly to the provider.

If you're worried about cost, I'd recommend doing OpenRouter and just putting 5 dollars there. Use GPT-4o mini for most chatbot operations, or Gemini Flash for most SAI content operations, and that should last you a long time. OpenRouter has 0 rate limits and connects to all AI models, so it's the most cost-effective option.

So either way, no recurring monthly charges! You're in control of when and how much you spend.

Which option sounds better for you?

Let me know if you have other questions! 🙂
