Unified AI Access with Privacy
- PayPerQ provides access to multiple top AI models in one place with no subscription, paying per use with bitcoin or other cryptos.
- This solves the hassle of managing multiple accounts and improves privacy by requiring no email or phone number.
Crypto Powering Pay-Per Pricing
- Crypto payment systems enable pay-per-use pricing models impossible under credit card fees and chargebacks.
- This disrupts subscription models as pay-per-use aligns cost directly with usage, benefiting casual users.
