I’ve just been reading through the new updates to the credit system, especially around the shift to dynamic, token-based billing for some AI features. Honestly, it’s left me feeling pretty concerned. My gut reaction was that this feels like a significant move away from the simple, fixed-cost model that empowers solo builders like me. For a passion project where I’m not earning a penny, the idea of unpredictable, metered costs feels like a door closing.
I understand that for now, using our own OpenAI connections keeps the operation cost at 1 credit, which is a massive relief. But my concern is about the direction of the platform. It feels like a move designed to capture enterprise-level spending, and I’m worried it might eventually price out the very creators, artists, and solo entrepreneurs who use Make for its incredible flexibility.
So, my question to the community is: Are other solo creators or those running passion projects feeling the same way? And to the Make team, can you offer some reassurance that users like us are still a core part of your vision for the platform’s future?
Thanks for listening. I’m not trying to be negative, just trying to understand how to keep my dream project alive on the platform I’ve come to love.
Cheers.
