I give away more than 200 tools. No account, no email capture, no paywall. People assume there is a catch.

There isn't, but there is a business model. This episode covers what is actually free and what is not, what it genuinely costs me to run all of it, where the revenue is supposed to come from, and where I actually am right now.

Including the part most people leave out: I have spent far more time building than selling, and distribution is still the hardest problem.

I charge for software, not for tokens. Every tool runs on your own API key, so your spend and your data stay yours.
