As the GenAI wave rolls on, everyone’s chasing scale. Freemium models spread reach; subscriptions aim to lock in commitment. But in the rush to fit old models onto new behavior, many are missing the real opportunity: users don’t want to commit. They want to get something done — right now, in the moment, with minimal friction.

Let’s get real for a second:

• A startup founder needs a killer pitch deck — maybe once or twice a month. She’ll happily pay $3 per use. But a $20/month subscription? Highly unlikely.
• A freelancer needs a contract reviewed once a quarter. $5 feels fair. A monthly subscription feels like a trap.
• A content marketer jumps between five AI tools—one for images, one for SEO, another for voice. He’ll pay $1–$2 per tool for a quick job. But subscribe to all five? No chance.

Even the most casual visitor who finds your product via social or search will pay $0.10–$1 for a one-time result — if it’s fast, clear, and doesn’t ask for a credit card commitment up front.

These users are real. They just don’t fit into your traditional, tidy subscription funnel. And if you don’t offer them a way in, you’re leaving money — and momentum — on the table.

This is where pay-as-you-go changes the game.

It doesn’t kill subscriptions. It completes them. By monetizing moments instead of memberships, you’re finally aligning pricing with behavior. You’re unlocking a revenue layer that traditional models ignore — and in many cases, this layer brings in more revenue per user than your lowest subscription tier ever could.

It’s not just more inclusive. It’s smarter.

Supertab is the invisible engine behind this shift. It lets people say, “Yeah, just put that on my tab,” for AI results, time passes, and sessions — without the mental toll of subscriptions or the bounce of a hard paywall. It’s built for a new kind of digital behavior: spontaneous, task-based, and scattered across a growing ecosystem of single-purpose AI tools.

So if you’re tired of watching 98% of your traffic ghost you — maybe it’s time to give them a reason to stay.
