Tactic · Reddit · stat: $15 cost

AI graphic design tool Rivermark opened public signups with free generation credits, generating 100 registrations and 60 active prompting users from organic Reddit posts. Founder JannVanDam reports total LLM API expenses reached $15 across the weeklong experiment, providing workflow feedback prior to implementing paid subscription tiers.

Token costs for early AI user validation remain surprisingly cheap Free API credits offer low-cost user discovery and workflow telemetry before committing to a final billing structure.
