Your new car payment
June 30, 2025
We’ll all be spending >$250 monthly for AI tools in short order.
And someday soon?
AI will be similar to a car lease—the next non-negotiable expense in addition to healthcare, housing, and a car (in the U.S., at least).
Today, most AI services are around $30/mo.
But not all of these tools will survive, as their features get rolled up into bigger and better models.
Instead, the price will go up on the 1-2 best, our true AI companions, and like taxes and interest, we’ll have no real choice but to pay.
