Ask HN: What is your monthly AI spending?

Right now? I spend less than $100 / month on AI services. I have the cheap plan ($20/ month or whatever) for ChatGPT, the $20/month (or whatever) plan for Gemini, a Github CoPilot plan that is, I think, $10/month. Add in a dollar or two here and there for using the OpenAI API (which I mostly don't, preferring instead of self-host open-weights models using Ollama), and a few bucks here and there for experimenting with Azure AI services. This is all in my personal life.

At the $DAYJOB we have a corporate subscription to Github CoPilot, as well as Microsoft CoPilot, and some access to the Azure OpenAI API.

All of that said, as I've gotten more into coding with spec driven development and using coding agents like OpenCode, I'm starting to see more of the value in all of this, and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of upping my spending at some point down the road.

I get GetHub Copilot at work, it’s all we’re allowed to use. I don’t know what they pay for it, but based on how useful it is to me, I’m not sure I’d pay for it at all. We’re supposed to get Microsoft Copilot “soon”, but I’ve been hearing that for a year.

Personally, I am a Kagi subscriber and use their Assistant, which gives me access to multiple AI chat models. I pay $10/month for this, but also paid it before AI was a big thing. My token usage within my Kagi account is generally between $1 and $3. If that were to go over $10 I’d need to pay some more. I’m in no danger of that currently.

$0/ month

Right now I pay $0, I don't see the benefit in paying for it when it provides enough in their free plans.
