> I’m tired of every AI capability at SaaS companies charging usage fees. I get it: they both have their own token costs and want to make a profit on the feature. But it makes a $50 a month product potentially hundreds if I’m not careful.

Well, I understand how, as a user, yoou’d prefer your $50 subscription to include hundreds of dollars of subsidies for the costs of consuming third-party AI resources, but other than a startup spending VC to buy a userbase and force the traditional unsubsidized competition out of business before milking their new monopoly hard to payback investors, how do you expect a firm to justify that?
