  • Ask OpenAI app developers: How are you thinking about payments?

    Have you considered usage-based payments? What's stopping you from implementing usage-based payments? I believe a small fixed fee + usage-based billing is the best way to handle payments for OpenAI apps. This way your users are less likely to churn because of a large monthly subscription. They'll pay for instance $5/month + usage. You'd need some metering on OpenAI calls. I'd suggest www.gpt3meter.com as a possible option.

    I had not considered usage-based payments, but thanks to you, I will certainly give it some consideration. How would you envision this working within the Apple ecosystem?

    @kris_steigerwald the first iteration is just for web apps. The Apple ecosystem is something I hadn't considered but will definitely take into consideration for v2. Thank you!
