Gotta pay for all that compute somehow. It's not what users want, it's what users will accept. Many precedents have been set here, unfortunately.

- nolongerthere 2y agoThey literally charge a LOT for their services
- mvkel 2y ago$20 ARPU averages out to about $1 in profit in typical SaaS. Gotta generate more than that to make investors whole, unfortunately
- happypumpkin 2y agoML inference should cost a lot more to run than typical SaaS too... that said, I'd pay more than $20/mo for access to GPT4 or Claude 3. It is worth at least $75/mo to me. I pay for both right now just in case one is better than the other for a certain task (though I might drop GPT soon).
- kadushka 2y agoI'd prefer to pay for no-ad version.
- sorokod 2y agoWhy would you be offered this option?
- kadushka 2y agoBecause I'm willing to pay for it?
- sorokod 2y agoYou may not be offered a choice because you will be paying even with advertising content present.
- kadushka 2y agoIn case it's not clear - I'm willing to pay extra for this.
- sorokod 2y agoOk, in this case the businesses will need to consider how many users are like you and how much tweaking they will be required to strip out the promotional material. Then they will decide if to offer this functionality and at what price.
- sunaookami 2y agoYou will instead need to pay and see ads at the same time!
- nicce 2y agoIt is already norm in too many places to get that maximum revenue…
