Ask HN: How much money do you spend monthly on subscriptions for AI models? Monthly total for all AI model subscriptions for personal use, with a breakdown of which models you use and for what purpose (coding side projects, AI assistants, etc.). You can also mention how much you spend monthly on AI tools for professional work that your company pays for. |
That’s one of the reasons I started building Talkory.ai: instead of paying for and switching between multiple AI tools, you can access and compare multiple models in one workspace and see which one gives the best answer for your particular task.
So rather than thinking “Which AI subscription should I pay for?”, I’m working on “Can I get the best model for each task without maintaining 5–6 separate subscriptions?”
$200 claude max through work -- pricing may be different, they don't show me the invoices
Zero at work.
i currently maintain active subscriptions for claude pro and google ai pro. honestly, the roi is completely undeniable when you factor in how much time it saves us on boilerplate code, debugging, and drafting initial architectures. we also sprinkle in some midjourney and elevenlabs for asset generation when we need it.
for a small team trying to ship fast, the $40-$60/mo we spend on core llms is by far the cheapest overhead we have.
