Take a look at https://micropay.ai and let me know what you think 😊
Interesting. I'm super bullish on micro-payments disrupting many services.
Dall-E AI seems like its getting saturated quick though.
Given the name, Is your plan to go to expand to many services?
reply
Great point! Also yes, we are actively exploring all possible use cases and services where we can branch out from.
A question for you: What are some services you use in your own life where you wish you could pay-per-use?
reply
Love to see it.
The first ones that come to mind are the services I rarely use, but need urgently at the time. (And the incumbents usually charge a monthly fee with a bunch of bloat I don't need).
Things like:
-Sending a fax
-Building a resume from a quality template
-Doing some kind of photoshopping like remove-bg.
That's some that come to mind.

That's actually very insightful! I'm really glad you mentioned this. It seems like there exists several products on the internet which charge subscription pricing but really should not be. Those products, as you described, are needed in the spur of the moment for a couple uses but are not valuable beyond that. Those products are the perfect usecase for micropayments.

Yeah glad you agree.
I had the epiphany when I had to send a fax a few months ago and ended up signing up for a free trial that included like 100 faxes a month. Way overkill.
When I saw BitcoinFax it clicked.
There's an entire suite of services that can't sell micro-payments because the friction of typing in my credit card and creating an account for a 25 cent payment is too high.
Lightning can collapse and rethink so many fields like this.
Just-in-time micro services... at scale.
