QuotaSwap

Safely matches unused AI tokens with people who need more, with metered billing

Problem

A user posts that their tokens are overflowing—no matter how many side projects they start, they can't use them all—while others need extra quota for experiments. Official subscriptions don't allow transfer or sharing, and lending accounts privately carries security and compliance risk, so idle quota goes to waste.

Solution

A lightweight quota mutual-aid marketplace where users list legitimately shareable team seats or partner API quota, matched by usage or time window. The platform enforces caps, auto-expires listings, keeps usage logs, and handles settlement, avoiding private account lending. Start with one compliant channel such as team-seat sub-accounts or bring-your-own-key proxy quota.

Users

Developers sitting on multiple AI subscriptions they can't exhaust, and indie developers or small teams needing short-term extra quota without upgrading.

MVP

Only legitimately shareable team seats or BYO-key proxy quota; list idle quota with caps and expiry; metered billing and automatic settlement; usage logs and overage circuit breaker; no password sharing.

Revenue

Matching commission or membership subscription; enterprise tier for quota-pool management.

Why now

Large amounts of idle AI subscription quota coexist with short-term demand, and official transfer mechanisms are missing. A solo developer can build lightweight matching and risk controls, strictly limited to compliant sharing channels.
