Hi fellow ProductHunters,
My name is Hamid, live in the Netherlands and have been a developer for roughly 25 years already.
I used to work a lot on webshops and magento in particular. Besides my freelance work, i have started a lot projects in the past and now i am fully focussed on www.dainostore.com. DainoStore is basically an ecommerce platfornm which contains a lot of best practices and no-code features, but also ai for product image optimization, translations, shop management and ai plugin creation. I would say take a look and you can also contact me for a producttour or just to talk ecommerce in general.
Thanks guys and happy coding!

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built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.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:
