Milos

Hey everyone, I'm Milo , the maker of Calcaas. We're launching here on Oct 31.

Before launch I'd love to learn from you. If you've shipped an AI product (or are about to), how did you decide what to charge?

- Did you start from token/API costs, competitors' prices, or gut feeling?

- Have you had a heavy user who cost you more than they paid?

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
