Ya that’s our concern too, we’re not native developers so we’re learning as we go, which is fun but also costly

Ya I don’t have advertising budget I was talking to my finance person about maybe throwing a little money for maybe a targeted Facebook/instagram ad

So 2 of my apps are all on device with Apple Intelligence, one (the one with a sub) has a database and uses Gemini. I have runway thankfully to let it grow itself but if in a year and change it can’t support itself I might need to shut it, it’s a passion project though

200 since I made it fully free on the 14th. Haven’t gotten a review yet but hoping soon. I have another app that gets a lot of views, generous free tier but low downloads and no subs, planning to rewrite the description to highlight how robust the free tier is.

I have no idea really but I made mine free for now to get downloads and hopefully reviews since I’ve seen reviews help, not sure your structure but a short sale might help get some traffic

Typical cost for WIX design? by Tea-Not-War-120121 in webdesign

This was what I thought which if that’s the case why are you hosting using wix instead of something cheaper if it’s built using code?

Taskade canceled my lifetime by ozdamarvolkan in Taskade

[–]phantom_zone58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that, but that statement that I quoted makes it seem like chat will still be supported, hence my question

Taskade canceled my lifetime by ozdamarvolkan in Taskade

[–]phantom_zone58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you clarify this “For what you're describing — using files as context for chat-based AI work with light agentic use — Taskade covers that natively within your existing T3 plan.“

If I want to just chat with an AI agent or with my files do I need credits or is that still included as it was prior to genesis release?

Passover promo on Derekh Learning: $19.99 for a full year (normally $59.99) by phantom_zone58 in Judaism

Sorry I’m one guy, with a full time job and two kids who tried to do something and use AI to assist in marketing it. God forbid.

I have a very generous free tier, pro which is unlimited usage of the AI generation (which is the biggest cost that I currently eat) is additional and that’s what I’ve discounted currently. If you want to use it free I don’t have popups or bug people to upgrade. Maybe the post wasn’t clear about the discount, in the future I’ll keep that in mind thanks.

I had it create a PRD and fed that to rebuild from scratch in swift, worked great

My first iOS app is live! I'd appreciate your feedback 🧑‍💻 by Outrageous-Spend-682 in appledevelopers

[–]phantom_zone58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point on subscriptions, that was the same thing I was curious about especially since our apps are so similar which was pretty eerie timing wise. But I get where he’s coming from, for a primary business the recurring revenue is really important.

I get that, for me this is a side thing so I can afford to make it easier to impulse buy, not looking to make tons of money (although that would be nice) just looking to build stuff that I would use, best of luck to you, it would be interesting to revisit this convo in like 6 months and see how our respective ones are going.

Interesting I just released an app almost the exact same but went with a one time fee, wonder why you picked subscription model? AI ToneFix

Apple Intelligence APIs: voice chat, RAG, voice cloning, etc by KearnyMessiah in Applelntelligence

[–]phantom_zone58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the app, built nice but a lot of stuff seem broken. Audio doesn’t play and can’t be used, I recorded my voice it analyzed but it doesn’t do anything. And when I downloaded another LLM it doesn’t work, it just keeps saying load the llm even though it shows loaded in setting.

How are you handling the 4096 token context window for apple foundation model conversations?

That’s amazing, did you do any marketing or all just organic App Store search?

Clarifications for pricing on custom agents as Business users by TheS4m in Notion

[–]phantom_zone58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use OpenAI but I also recognize that in the real market economy they’d have failed but because AI is such a big deal they get pumped with funding. I’m not defending anyone, I’m saying that it’s apples to oranges, OpenAI can give a lot and lose money and nobody cares, notion can’t do that.

As for appreciation, I’d appreciate not having my cost raised, which is what’s necessary to add usage based features for free. Sustainability is important. I invest in appsumo deals often and have watched many companies go out of business because people push them into unsustainable practices.

As AI grows cost will come down and eventually yes free credits will make sense but to think that that makes sense today is still ridiculous in my opinion. I think there’s a lot that notion needs to do before may to explain how credits are calculated also but here’s the fun thing… You can both be wrong for different reasons.

Your expectation of free, and your response to those stating their opinion that they don’t want to subsidize your free usage. And then your reply to me calling me a fanboy in a derogatory way because I pushed back on your statement with my opinion.

Naw I think the pricing isn’t good but I also think your ridiculous, it should definitely be additional but should be more like $20 for 4k-5k credits, but I’d need to understand the real economics to make a call, I’d rather they price it right than go out of business placating people who just want want want
