Is Outcome-Based Pricing the Future for AI?

Hey, Product Hunt community!

For years, we've lived by the code of subscriptions, seats, and usage tiers. But as AI gets more sophisticated, I've been thinking: does charging for access or raw usage still make sense?

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

What's the most valuable lesson you learned from a failed AI agent project?

Hello, Product Hunt community!

We often celebrate the wins and the "hockey stick growth" moments here, which is incredibly inspiring. However, I believe there's a treasure trove of knowledge in the projects that didn't work out, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.
