Why Cursor's flat-fee pricing could lead to its downfall (kilocode.ai)

We're definitely in the golden age of AI plan pricing, and I suspect we'll see plans for consumers scale similarly to the way we've seen streaming. There's no way $20/month is profitable, but I don't know much I would actually pay for it as a consumer. $30 sure, $40 may be pushing it. Will my business have to pay like $200/head? Maybe more?


I want usage based pricing for AI, not a bunch of monthly subscriptions like we have with streaming


Proof that even developers fall for "marketing schemes".
