Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built CheapAI to solve my own problem: I was spending too much on AI API calls for side projects that weren't making money yet.
The product is simple — an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint that routes your requests to affordable models behind the scenes. You don't need to comparison-shop across AI providers or learn new SDKs. Change one line of code and your costs drop 80%.
Solo bootstrapped. Would love your feedback, HN-style honesty welcome!
