A: 1) How much is it to get more credits then?
Let me break down our credit system transparently:
- Each credit costs $0.10
- One credit is consumed per AI "thinking" session, not per message
- A single conversation flow can use just 1 credit even with multiple back-and-forth messages
- A new credit is only used when the AI needs to process and respond to a fresh message thread

In real-world usage:
- Simple conversations typically use 2-3 credits
- Complex sales (like high-ticket items) might use 6-8 credits
- From our data, the average cost per successful conversion is quite reasonable. For example, one of our clients is converting 1 in 3 conversations, meaning they spend about 6-24 credits ($0.60-$2.40) per sale.

And honestly, you'll use way less credits than you might think. We have clients who bought 1,000 credits once and have been running with the same batch for months without needing to top up. The AI is efficient with its "thinking" cycles.

Look, it might seem more expensive compared to other solutions out there, but here's the truth: building an AI that's truly indistinguishable from human responses and can sell is neither easy nor cheap. There are plenty of chatbot tools out there that offer cheaper models and dump all the work on you to figure out. We've seen how that plays out - it's just a cheap way to make users do all the heavy lifting. We spent months figuring out these LLMs and fine-tuning our AI because we believe pushing that burden onto users isn't a real solution - it's just cutting corners.

2) Would this centralize all DM's and such on one dashboard? (i.e. you can message people, from insta, facebook, whatsapp etc.)
Yes, everything is centralized in one unified inbox. You can manage and respond to all your WhatsApp and Instagram conversations from a single dashboard. No more jumping between different apps or tabs.

3) For custom solutions does would that included direct API integrations?
Yes, we provide a comprehensive API that allows for custom integrations. You can integrate DM Champ with your existing systems, CRM, or other tools. This enables automated workflows, data synchronization, and custom implementations based on your specific needs.

4) How are you guys planning to stay sustainable in the long-run after the appsumo promo?
We're already operating sustainably with a strong base of regular customers paying premium rates (some at $997/month and above). The AppSumo promotion is about expanding our user base, not maintaining operations. We've built our business model around delivering high-value AI conversations that directly impact our clients' bottom lines, which allows us to maintain sustainable pricing while continuously improving our technology.
