Project Summary

AI subscription prices are fragmented across numerous online card networks and channels, making it difficult to find the lowest price, check stock, and compare options for services like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. PriceAI aggregates, standardizes, and compares these scattered offerings, presenting users with the lowest available in-stock price, stock status, and direct purchase links. This tool benefits frequent AI subscribers, value-conscious users, and those facing payment hurdles by simplifying the discovery of cost-effective and available AI service options.

How It Works

PriceAI employs an automated data collection system to scrape pricing, stock levels, and purchase URLs from over 100 diverse online card network channels. It then standardizes these disparate raw data points into comparable product categories, such as ChatGPT Plus or Gemini Pro. The core advantage lies in its focus on presenting the lowest in-stock price and clearly indicating availability, thereby cutting through the noise of scattered, outdated, or unavailable offers and empowering informed purchasing decisions.

Quick Start & Requirements

  • Primary install/run: Local development requires npm install followed by npm run dev.
  • Prerequisites: Node.js environment. Supabase is optional for full functionality; the tool can run with built-in demo data.
  • Links: Online demo available at https://priceai.cc. Detailed documentation is available within the repository (e.g., PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md).

Highlighted Details

  • Aggregates pricing from 100+ channels for AI subscriptions, APIs/CDKs, and other digital goods.
  • Prioritizes displaying the lowest available price, explicitly marking stock status.
  • Supports automated data collection via public APIs, Shop APIs, HTML parsing, and browser-based scraping.
  • Enables users to submit new channels for potential inclusion.

Maintenance & Community

The project roadmap includes enhancing collection stability, refining product classification, and improving the user channel submission loop. Contributions are welcomed via GitHub Issues and Pull Requests for new collectors, price fixes, classification rules, UI improvements, and documentation.

Licensing & Compatibility

PriceAI is released under the MIT License, which is permissive and generally suitable for commercial use and integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

PriceAI functions solely as an information aggregator; it does not facilitate transactions, handle payments, provide guarantees, or offer after-sales support for any listed channels. The tool is designed not to bypass security measures like CAPTCHAs or login walls during data collection.
