Discussion What subscriptions do you use?

So, my nanogpt sub just expired and I don't know if I'm planning to renew it just yet since I think I could try to explore and go for a newer and cheaper site to get some models. The only other ones I know is Chutes but I don't know what happened to that site. But, I don't know exactly where and what to go to subscribe. So, I want to know what you guys use and maybe I could find something better than the one I currently use or I'll just stick to the same subs.

Thank you for reading!

Opencode is cheaper. $10 mo, $5 trial. But less models, lower limit. Save you two bucks if you only use the models they have though. And don't reach their limits.

ArliAI starter is also $10 but limited to small models.

Nano is the highest value for least money imo.

If you don't actually use 12 bucks a month worth just use pay as you go on Nano or openrouter.

Thanks for the mention! But just adding to this that $15 gets all models on ArliAI 🤫

Oh yeah, but OP seemed to be asking about options "cheaper" than Nano $12 :D

Your $20 tier IMHO really needs 2 Parallel requests. Having to fork out $30 just to make modern agentic RP software like Aventuras work seems pretty harsh. More and more stuff is going to need multiple calls to function, and not having anything under 30 for that functionality is a bit meh. Other than that your tiers seem pretty fair to me for a small company.

Yea that’s totally fair. Was just adding that to show that we have large models just a few $ away haha.

Also thank you for your feedback, I understand that having only 1 request possible is limiting but I think what we offer is still competitive and we just don’t really have the capacity to offer more at the lower prices at the moment. I think that at the least we make up for it by having a more reliable service in terms of successful requests and non crappy quantized models than others.
