AI video users burn credits fast and hit hidden costs they can't predict. PainHunt data points to transparent, calculable pricing as an unmet need.
AI coding tool usage limits and top-up transparency
Paid developers hit 24-hour lockouts on AI coding tools with no quota visibility and no way to buy more. PainHunt data points to a clear unmet need.
