At the end of last week, the traffic of my AI app shot up, and it hit 1,000 registered users. As a side effect, my OpenAI API bill grew massively, and I spent more than $100 on OpenAI in one day...
I quickly implemented Stripe Checkout, enabled subscriptions, and emailed existing users. Surprisingly, they reacted positively, and I got my first paying customer in less than an hour. After that, another user emailed me asking when the more expensive plan would be available.
The app is still running at a loss, but I'm glad users are getting value from it. I'm already working on UI improvements and new features.
I would love honest feedback on my pricing. What do you think?
