The Problem

People who rely on paid AI products cannot easily determine what their subscription includes, how much capacity remains, or what an additional workload will cost. They often discover limits only after uploading files or completing part of a project, while app-store price differences, add-on credits, failed entitlement activation, and account suspensions create further uncertainty.

Potential Solution

Build a browser extension and lightweight account service that consolidates subscription prices, plan entitlements, renewal dates, observed usage, and credit purchases across major AI providers. It would warn users before a planned report, research session, or document-processing job is likely to exceed available capacity and recommend the least expensive eligible provider or plan. The first version can combine receipt ingestion, user-entered plan limits, browser-observed usage events, and a maintained catalog of provider pricing rules.

Why Now?

AI providers are combining subscriptions with variable credits, multiple usage tiers, and platform-specific pricing. As professionals adopt several services simultaneously, managing capacity and avoiding interrupted work is becoming a recurring buyer workflow rather than a complaint about one application.

Rather than requiring everyone to commit to a full subscription, why not introduce an optional, affordable pay-as-you-use credit system? For example, a user could purchase a small amount of credit—₦2,000 is just an example—use it for the tasks they need, and buy more when the cr

Chat AI 5: AI Agent & Video

“Lifetime” Plan Now Has Weekly Limits I purchased the lifetime plan because it was advertised as ongoing access to multiple AI models. Since then, weekly usage limits have been added that can prevent me from using the app until the limit resets. The lifetime plan also appears to have changed, with expensive upgrades being promoted for extended access. It feels misleading to advertise a plan as “lifetime” while later restricting usage or requiring customers
