Have you ever had this experience?
You only used ChatGPT three times in a month, but still paid the full \$20 subscription fee.
What’s worse, if you want to try Claude, MidJourney, or Runway, you need to subscribe to each of them separately. Your monthly bill can easily go over \$100, even though you barely used any of them. Most of the time, that money just goes down the drain.
Personally, I find this wasteful. Many people don’t use AI tools every day — they just need them occasionally. But current pricing models don’t offer that freedom. You either subscribe, or you don’t use the tool at all.
And beyond the cost, tool switching is a huge pain.
Today’s AI tools are scattered across different websites. Every time you want to use a feature, you open a new tab, log in to a new account. You use GPT for writing, Kling for video, MidJourney for images, Runway for editing...
Constantly switching windows, tabs piling up — the experience is terrible, and productivity takes a big hit.
You're paying premium prices, but getting complexity and inefficiency in return.
That’s exactly why I created YooAI.
The idea behind YooAI is simple: bring the major AI tools together in one place, and let you pay only for what you use.
No more being locked into subscriptions. No more paying “just in case.”
Want to try a new feature? Go ahead. Only need it a few times a month? No problem — you won’t feel guilty about it.
All tools are accessible from a single entry point. No more jumping between platforms.
You can write, draw, generate videos — all in one place. No more account switching, tab overload, or billing confusion.
And most features on YooAI are free. Only advanced models require payment due to higher usage costs.
The goal of YooAI is simple:To let everyone use AI — easily, freely, and without pressure.
