AI pricing is too high

[Bé Jeuring]

De AI-planner gebruikt. Verassend goed..... Leuk om een keer te proberen, maar de kosten zijn mij teveel. Maar wel mooi dat het kan. Komt ook nog bij dat als je de AI-planner gebruikt..... je zo klaar bent. En dat moet dus niet, lekker bij de donkere avonden alles zelf uitpuzzelen

I am convinced that planning with the AI ​​module yields good results. Although I haven’t tested it myself, I suspect that the "route weather" feature would offer me greater added value. However, the fact that it is bundled with the AI ​​add-on—combined with the high price—is a deterrent. My current thinking is that I might subscribe to the add-on only during the months when I’m taking long trips. While that is one possible solution, I would much prefer not to have to constantly think about when to start and stop the subscription.

@Reinhard-Punz perfectly fine! That’s the benefit of a monthly subscription

I did use AI for some routes to test. I does what it has to do and sometimes i need to polish the routes a litle. I think it's a great help and the price is inline with what it offers, a integrated AI in a route planner is a great combination.
Can i do the same as AI, yes, but a take more time for the same result. I combine MRA with Google to find things along the route but AI ask if you want this and offers option, great

I’ve got another idea – wouldn’t it be possible to link your own AI subscription? If you already have an AI subscription, you could integrate it. Those who don’t have one could use MRA’s. I don’t know enough about this, but as I understand it, this should be possible, for example, via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
As I said, it’s just an idea.

I don't use common AI so in my case it's not an option

[Parantapa]

Those who don’t have one could use the one provided by MRA.

My guess is that the AI used embedded in the planner is specifically targetted with presets for scenic route planning. I don't think you would be able to get comparable results when you let people uses another unprepared AI from whatever AI you can choose from.

The AI engine ask if you want a scenic route, it is still your choice

Just my idea on the AI pricing model: If I compare the monthly fee for the AI subscription (€10 for 400 credits) with the price of additional credits (€6 for 250 credits), the cost per credit is essentially the same.

I would prefer a pay-per-use model with prepaid credit packages. For this model, I would accept a slightly higher price per credit so that the subscription remains attractive for heavy users.
