Ray cast introduce subscription based Raycast Pro

I jumped on board for that and the sync feature. It’s become quite useful over time Raycast. Maybe it will finally achieve sustainability unlike Quicksilver (that I still use for a couple of features).

20 cents for the whole month with multiple questions a day? Did I read that right? I thought it would at least cost $40-50 based

It does both. You can ask it a one-off question or open a chat window.

It’s a very nice implementation but I don’t think I’m going to pay with it. Too many other free options out there, and I already have a ChatGPT API I’m paying for.

Same. I like that a number of software vendors are letting you bring your own key. They still get to charge for the value they build around the API without having to worry about covering all the calls for heavy users. And users get to save money overall since they don’t have to pay for vendors’ conservative estimates of their usage.

I’m hoping a critical mass of vendors support bring-your-own key because that will both set an expectation for the vendors and keep OpenAI providing a retail API that’s just as good as wholesale/business.

Yes that’s correct. I guess to spend $40 or $50 a month through the API, you’d have to have ChatGPT write several books for you. You can also set a soft and hard limit for the monthly cost and be protected from surprises.

Note that GPT-4 is far more expensive through the API…

At my age that becomes a better than evens bet actually!

It is, but according to their FAQs, Raycast is using GPT 3 and GPT 3.5-Turbo models. I would always prefer “bring your own key” because otherwise you are paying for those who use the AI feature very intensively.
