I've had like 12 people asking me to add subscriptions over the past week. The reason I don't have subs is because I genuinely don't like them...
But people keep asking, and it doesn't make sense for me to keep saying no based on a personal preference, so I gamed out some options ->
If I did subs, I could probably offer them with three tiers, all over 2.5x the value of buying balance. They would have some usage limits, more expensive models/styles would cost more usage. Subs would work for the API and MCP too, just with reduced concurrency (so companies aren't abusing them).
Balance would stay, if you use up your usage, gens would go back to costing balance. And, if you want, you could even choose to pay for a monthly subscription from your existing balance.
This is genuinely something I've tried to avoid, and even something I've made part of my marketing, not having subscriptions. But it seems like people really want it.
So my question is: Should I add subscription plans to Retro Diffusion? Is this really something you all would like?
