Why Echo?

Echo is designed for indie developers and small teams building consumer AI apps who want to launch fast without fronting infrastructure costs.

You Should Use Echo If:

• You're building a consumer AI app (chat, image generation, code tools)
• You want to launch in minutes, not weeks
• You're considering BYOK and want to streamline UX
• You can't afford to front $1K+/month in API costs
• You want revenue from day one with markup pricing
• Your users understand pay-as-you-go pricing

You Probably Don't Need Echo If:

• You're building enterprise B2B (they expect seat-based pricing)
• You need complex billing logic beyond usage-based pricing
• You want to subsidize AI costs as a growth strategy
• You already have auth/billing infrastructure working well
