Mayin: Own Your AI Visibility - Own your AI visibility — no subscriptions, no black box

Measure and improve your brand visibility inside AI chat and AI searchMost AI visibility tools are expensive black boxes with monthly subscriptions. Mayin is a self-hosted alternative that gives you full control over your data, prompts, and API costs — with a one-time payment.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I originally built Mayin as a regular SaaS—just like most tools in this space—with monthly subscriptions between $150–$999. We even got early customers. But something started to feel wrong. This category is still new, and most users don’t really know: * What prompts are being sent * What APIs are being called * How the real costs are calculated * Where their data goes Yet they’re paying high monthly fees for black-box tools. So I made a hard call: I killed the SaaS version, took the short-term revenue hit, and rebuilt Mayin from scratch. Now it’s: * Self-hosted * Fully transparent * No subscriptions * One-time payment * Bring your own API keys * You own your data Functionally, Mayin helps you understand and improve how AI systems (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) reference your brand. Philosophically, it’s about **ownership over your AI presence**. If you’ve felt frustrated with overpriced AI tools or SaaS lock-in, I’d love your honest feedback. Happy to answer anything 🙏
