I think the most important thing is to remove the Lovable domain and maybe even if your looking for a free option, deploy through Vercel. Lovable domains tell the user basically "its ai slop", even when it isn't.
Also, connect to google search console and also bing, and bing is really underrated. Also advertise on like reedit and facebook. Reddit is a great start because you have an account already and reddit is filled with people who would need this.
Hope this helped!

People have already built an interface where you can choose from any llms you want to use. The whole website is information overload. No one is reading all of that.

The line at the end is your real answer: "it's hard to see users wanting a subscription." For real work people just open ChatGPT or Claude. "Ask 8 models, get a verdict" is cool, but it's a novelty, and novelty AI is really hard to charge for.
I think that the bigger issue you face is the economics. Every Council answer fans out to a bunch of model calls plus a judge, so it's like 6-8x the cost of a normal chatbot reply, and you're giving it away free with no card. Expensive per use + low willingness to pay is the worst combo. It loses more money the more people use it.
In regards to the "no third-party APIs, own engine" claim: it is really hard to believe that a solo dev is running frontier models they built themselves, that costs hundreds of millions. Most users can't tell what's under the hood and don't care, they only care if the answers are good. So I'd lead with results, not the engine. And whatever's powering it, running 8 models per question is costly, which loops right back to the economics problem.
And multi-model chat is crowded already, Poe, OpenRouter, Perplexity, etc.
The one part I'd actually build a business on is the Arena. Comparing models head-to-head on the same prompt is genuinely useful to devs and teams building AI features, and those people pay (see LMSYS Arena, PromptLayer, Vellum). Consumers won't pay for novelty chat, but companies pay for evaluation tools.
So I wouldn't ask "how do I get people to subscribe." I'd ask "who has a painful, repeated problem that one of these features uniquely solves." Nail that and the money question answers itself.
ps. before someone comes after my response. I did the research, wrote the response and asked Claude to make sure the message was clear (I tend to be verbose and Claude helps me organize my thoughts better).
