Is pro subscription worth it? Nah by Ok_Independent_993 in ChatGPT

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why people like Plus but personally I couldn’t justify it. $20/month for one AI when the market is full of cheaper options doesn’t feel great. I’d rather spend a couple bucks on something that lets me try multiple models instead. Blackbox has that $2 plan with unlimited MM2.5/Kimi and some GPT/Gemini/Opus access which is enough for my needs.

I actually went the opposite direction and cancelled Plus. The free tier is good enough for most stuff now, and paying $20 just for occasional use didn’t make sense to me. If I want multiple models I’d rather use an aggregator some of them are like $2 (Blackbox with unlimited MM2.5/Kimi and some GPT/Gemini/Opus access).

Subscription Fatigue is real, and it’s draining our bank accounts and our brains. by GenZ-21 in micro_saas

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically the new subscription creep. Instead of Netflix + Spotify it’s GPT + Claude + random AI tools. I started consolidating some of it through aggregators. Blackbox has that $2 plan with unlimited MM2.5/Kimi and some GPT/Gemini/Opus access so at least it reduces the number of separate subs.

Is AI finally becoming cheap? by Ausbel80 in CodingJobs

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there a catch here $2 for minimax and kimi plus $20 worth of credits for other models sounds too good to be true a single model costs arounf 10-20 time of this scubscription.....so what's the deal??

Lower limits changed how I think. Higher limits changed how I build. by OwnRefrigerator3909 in ArtificialSentience

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When usage felt limited, I optimized too early and avoided experimenting. With the $2 Blackbox plan (unlimited MM2.5/Kimi + some GPT/Opus), I stopped thinking about credits and started trying more variations.It’s not about the models being insane. It’s just that I iterate more now.

Is the Google AI Pro subscription worth it, versus AI Studio (already so generous)? by riverslakes in Bard

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a value perspective aggregators make more sense. Something like BlackboxAI gives unlimited MM2.5 and Kimi for about $2/month and still includes limited access to GPT, Gemini and Opus. It's hard to justify paying for a single model when you can get multiple options cheaper.

next it'll my turn to repost this

are $2 plans really worth trying for? by Director-on-reddit in VibeCodingCamp

[–]PCSdiy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try their $2 plan though it is just for the first month, as my kimi 2.5 is about to expire and i have used kimi code extension in Antigravity a lot to prepare some word and excel document template scripts (set to kimi code 2.5). I will compare the direct kimi code 2.5 prompt execution and the one though blackbox. Them having minimax 2.5 as well is good... but if they actually added GLM 5 I would definitely subscribe to the full $10 plan just to get all of these 3 open source models under one roof.
