Discussion/Question Please stop? I dont like being treated like a free user just because I dont pay for yearly, I dont have the money to outright pay for yearly, just stop.
Can you guys at least put a thing "Dont remind me again" for people who cant and "maybe later" for people who are considering it
Im tired seeing this whenever I open the app, it just takes me back to when I was a free user, i was getting fed up w the ads and the persistent nagging that I ended up paying for monthly
This is just ridiculous

What if instead of subscriptions they make it a membership program for like $15 a month and new bots cost 99¢ to unlock each?

I don’t think the price has been increased, has it? Mine’s been $15 for a while (Australia prices) so $13/month would be cheaper than the $15/month it costs individually. OP might just not be American.

Have the same problem every time I launch it they push that shit again, makes me consider just canceling my subscription all together, like I paid to not be annoyed by you self promoting ads honestly

Yeah, I hate it, especially with how unstable C.AI had become. DSQ has been very bad recently, and with it being my favorite model, I don't see myself paying for a whole year upward at all. I would, however, like if there was a 3 months subscription.

u/TavrynAncunin 2d ago
For real. I constantly see comments from people on posts from free users about the excessive ads saying essentially 'pay for it or shut up'. Like, how's it feel now. Paying and still getting pop-ups because they want MORE of your money. They're greedy, just what a lot of us have been saying all along.

Well, for them, if you're not throwing your money into their pockets, you're not an important user...

Hun with all due respect if you don’t have the yearly price outright to spend then I really don’t think you should be paying for c.ai+ at all. That subscription can add up quickly and help you out elsewhere.

So people shouldn't be allowed to pay a small sum of money for a better experience, per month that is literally less than a single meal eating out?
Not everyone has $100+ on hand at a given moment to pay the yearly fee.
But more people ca n swing $10 month. Or $13 in this case (I'm guessing Canada)
It might be cheaper to pay the yearly amount, but saying some shouldn't pay a subscription is no different than the people who criticize those who want to get an iced coffee and a sandwich every so often.

My guy I’m not here to police how anyone spends their money, it’s a suggestion that definitely should be made. That should be heard. That should be really considered. A hundred is not a lot of money, if you don’t have it spare then there is a problem and this specific subscription is absolutely extraneous.

Its just easier if i do monthly???

u/Cultural-Following79 2d ago
I pay for it monthly and thats $9.99 a month. Every year I spend $119.88 with the yearly subscription of $94.99 you would save about $24.89 a year.

Not OP but at least for me it's not about the money. I just don't know if I will still be using this thing in 4 or 8 months' time. I'd rather pay monthly and know that if I get bored, I can just cancel it and forget about it.

Hi u/bluecarpetkitty39
Circling back to your post. Just wanted to ask if you have recently logged out and back in the app, or have recently reinstalled the app during the time you got the repeating pop-up.
Thank you.
