APIPriceWatch AI API Price Monitor

Aggregate AI video/image/audio API pricing and billing conditions, with change alerts.

Problem

Developers integrating AI APIs are confused by provider-specific pricing: the same model costs differently by resolution, duration, standard/pro tier, and audio inclusion, while images bill per unit and audio per second, making direct comparison impossible. A comparison site exists, but developers still manually track price and historical changes, often falling into traps.

Solution

A price monitoring and comparison tool focused on AI media generation APIs: scrape and structure public pricing pages, present parameters and billing units side by side; allow users to subscribe to price change alerts per model; provide a cost calculator for different usage levels; and record historical price curves to assess provider stability.

Users

Indie developers, small AI product teams, and technical decision-makers integrating video, image, or audio generation APIs.

MVP

Manually curate public pricing for 10-20 major providers; offer a filterable comparison table by model/provider; enable email or webhook notifications for price changes on selected models; include a simple cost calculator.

Revenue

Free browsing; paid subscription ($5/month) for price alerts and cost simulator; affiliate commissions from provider sign-ups.

Why now

AI generation models iterate fast and price wars are frequent, so developers need continuous cost tracking; existing comparison sites are static and lack monitoring, letting indie developers enter with a scraper plus notification system.
