I’m curious how much is your LLM bill. I’m assuming the idea is that LLMs will maintain the software? I’d be surprised, given the token economy, that you’d have to pay less than those subscriptions to LLM providers.
Crashes don’t get less frequent… etc.
These guys have a shot now.
You can't compare _cost_ here; apples vs oranges. How much _value_ per unit money is what matters here.
Comparisons should be done against the status quo: ~$60/user/month to adobe for years at a time only to see the product get more bloated, less stable and any bugs/feature-requests you file go to /dev/null.
The vibe coded one will be garbage if you don’t put careful consideration and effort into both developing and maintaining it. That’s all _cost_ that come on top of the exorbitant token price you’ve to pay in perpetuity.
Btw, this is not a defense of Adobe’s software. It’s just that what you’re promoting is even worse than theirs.
What's the 'unsubscribe fee'? Are you referring to choosing something like an annual plan instead of 'Monthly' and only getting 50% back if you cancel partway through?
As you said you're a filmmaker, if someone chooses to obtain the rights to your film for a longer period instead of a shorter period and then changes their mind halfway through, do you similarly give them 50% back?
From what I can see, Adobe prominently and clearly displays from the first public checkout page the differences between 'monthly' and 'annual' options?
It does now, because the FTC sued in 2024 and Adobe then corrected this, while settling in March 2026
Scaling up to this kind of complexity even with AI is still a challenge, at least for me.
