Model Credit Radar
See every free model and plan deal in one place, stop hunting for credits
- Problem
- Someone already built a free-token aggregator site, proving users bounce between vendors to save credits and manually check which free model plugs into their local agent harness. It gets worse when GPT suddenly returns 'Selected model is at capacity' mid-task and you have to swap models. Info is scattered across forums and spreadsheets, and nobody tells you which quota is still alive right now.
- Solution
- A dashboard that pulls free quotas, plan deals, and live availability into one panel, filtered by whether a model can plug into your local harness. Each source shows its current tier, claim steps, and whether an API key is required, with one-click config copy and outage alerts when a quota runs dry or a model is at capacity.
- Users
- Indie devs and AI tinkerers who live off free credits and constantly switch models
- MVP
- Catalog 20-30 free or discounted sources by tier; attach claim steps and integration snippets to each; one-click copy of env vars for common agent harnesses; manual user reports for exhausted quotas and capacity errors; weekly update digest
- Revenue
- Free browsing; subscription for realtime status push and private alerts; affiliate revenue from cloud vendors or relay services
- Why now
- Model vendors are in a price war with fast-changing free tiers, and switching costs are high for users. This is just curation plus light monitoring, maintainable by one person, and the community already shows intent with an early version
