Three steps to funded infrastructure
Why do developers need AI credits?
Understanding what your support pays for — and why it matters.
Every AI feature costs money
When you use ChatGPT or Claude in an app, each message, search, or generation charges the developer. Even a simple chatbot can cost $100+/month.
Developers pay per use
AI companies charge based on "tokens" (pieces of text processed). More users = higher bills. Popular indie projects can rack up thousands in API costs.
Costs grow with success
When a project takes off, so do the bills. Many indie developers shut down promising tools because they can't afford the infrastructure.
Your support keeps them running
By funding their API costs directly, you help developers keep building without worrying about the next bill. Every dollar goes to keeping features live.
Real example
A simple AI writing assistant with 100 active users might process 50,000+ messages per month. At current OpenAI and Anthropic pricing, that's $150–300/month in API costs alone — before hosting, databases, or any other infrastructure. For indie developers building in their spare time, this adds up fast.
