What it Costs to Run My AI SaaS (2024)

[@NousernameSad2]

You mentioned you're using the 3.5 turbo for the chatbot. Wouldn't using gpt-4o-mini be significantly cheaper? Why not make the switch?

[@Timo_AI]

even cheaper than 3.5?

[@scarynights512]

​@@Timo_AI yes I believe 4o mini is much more affordable than 3.5 turbo

[@Timo_AI]

amazing, thx

I am amazed how you can make profit with a product like this! Tell me, whats the benefit of using your whatsapp bot vs the openai app/webpage? Which also offer substantially better models for free…

[@Timo_AI]

Convenience brother. There are countries where people buy cars via WhatsApp. It’s their daily driver. These people don’t care about the model, price whatever. You have to know that we both are not the average consumer or target customer for this.

How does the chatbot work with WhatsApp business?

why you didn't use your heroku server to format phone number? You already have a subscription webhooks there.

[@Timo_AI]

have already paid for zapier, so that was a quick fix. but that's an option if you wanna save cost.

Ai is kinda new right now but as time goes on, prices will go down.

[@Timo_AI]
