One-time price, ongoing cost
AI usage costs money every time it runs. A tool can only sell a lifetime price comfortably if you bring your own API key or usage is limited, so check which one applies.
How we check these deals
Every offer here comes from a public source: the community-reviewed Awesome Black Friday list, the Indie App Sales event, or a store listing. Terms are quoted as published, so a line on this page should match what the maker wrote.
Paying doesn't change the order of these deals, and we don't invent discounts. Makers can pay for a Featured spot, which is a separate section marked as including paid placements. If a deal has no end date listed, we say nothing rather than guess. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.
Questions people ask
What does bring your own key mean?
You connect your own account with an AI provider and pay that provider for usage. The app itself is a one-off cost.
