Q: Are you really charging $399 a month for API access?

Very odd pricing. Rather than directly monetizing the API, you could enhance the value proposition of your existing offer and just include it. Many of your competitors will do this. Just saying.

Without the API, this solution is nearly worthless to me and anyone considering automating parts of their e-commerce business.

I'm also concerned that you'll eventually provide API access to everyone, similar to what many companies are doing these days, while leaving AppSumo customers stranded.

It's a pass from me without the API access included on tier 3 or tier 4. Thanks again. Cool product but I think your missed the market here.

A: Hi Pintofoptimism. Thanks for your question about our API offering. I understand the importance of automation for companies working with AI, especially at higher usage tiers. Here's the current situation with our API:

While the API key itself isn't included in the AppSumo LTD tiers, the credits/points from your LTD can be used for API calls. This means you can leverage your LTD credits for automation without needing to manually process each image.

We do offer an API with our core functionalities:
- AI Model & AI Product API
- Generate up to 5 API keys
- Upload up to 480 images/minute & create up to 240 tasks/minute

We're always evaluating our offerings to better serve our customers' needs. We do have many users who go with higher points package without API usage due to the lack of technical team. Your feedback about including API access in higher tiers is valuable. In addition, you may consider going with the lower tier or trying on free trials to give it a feel first :)

Please refer to https://open.weshop.ai/authorization/apikey for the full API doc. Feel free to email us anytime if you encounter any issues when considering integrating with the API.

I love the product and you are extremely responsive which is awesome. However, without free access to the API, I won’t be able to proceed. Tools like make.com and LLM's make it super easy for no-coders and very small teams to use API's without technical knowledge. I'm sorry to say that I'll just have to wait for a tool that offers this as part of the package. Good luck with the launch here.

I agree, tour Api pricing is not making sense

Thanks both for the feedback - we will take into considerations for further API developments. Some of our competitors offering API solutions deploy similar approaches and with the standalone API key and LTD credits, WeShop AI bundle would still be on a lower end compare to the industry. We do encourage you to try out the smaller tier or free credits to get a feel and thanks again for the support!
