Is usage-based pricing becoming the norm for AI tools?

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built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.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

Thank you, Product Hunt — our first public launch & Top 10 finish

Hey, Hunters

I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported the PingPrompt launch.

We finished #10 of the day and got featured on Product Hunt among 463 products launched yesterday. This means a lot, especially because this was PingPrompt s first public launch whitout audience, competing alongside some truly great apps.

We also gained 102 new followers, plus new trial users and subscriptions. Thank you for the trust and for taking the time to try something new.

What features would you like to see in Fitness Wrapped?

I m always trying to make the app better with more stats! Would love to hear your ideas for the app.

Whiteboard to wireframe in 30 seconds

You just finished a brainstorm session. The whiteboard is covered in boxes, arrows, and brilliant ideas. Now what? Redraw it all in Figma? Spend an hour translating it to a prototype? With TypMo's Image-to-IA feature, you can snap a photo and get a working wireframe in under a minute.
The AI recognizes common wireframe conventions: an X in a box becomes an image placeholder, circles become avatars, rows of lines become tables. Write "Search" next to a rectangle and it becomes a search bar. Your napkin sketch becomes a clickable prototype before your coffee gets cold.

Tips for Better Imports

  1. Use high contrast Black marker on white paper works best. Faded dry-erase markers confuse the AI.

  2. Label your components Write "Logo", "Search", or "Button" next to your drawings. The AI reads your handwriting.

  3. Photograph straight-on Avoid angles that distort proportions. Good lighting reduces shadows.

  4. Show structure clearly Draw lines to separate Header, Main, and Footer areas. Group related items with boxes.

  5. Start simple Import the core layout first, then add details in the editor.
    Lets go!!!
