With pay-per-use services propping up around AI, I'm sensing that asking users to sign up before trial will become inevitable.

1. Is this a HN only phenomenon or is there a significant drop-off in general because of the signup requirement?

2. If the drop-off is general, how are you planning to handle AI pay-per-use credit tracking without signup?

I think they are referring to the fact you can’t even try it without signing up. I don’t think people mind signing up and paying if they feel they will use it.

So much stuff is released every day, I don’t want to be bothered creating an account and giving my info to everything on the internet. Give me a good demo and if I’m interested I’ll sign up.
