How to avoid overpaying
Start with the free plans and note where you hit limits. Pay for one $20 plan that fits your main work instead of three at once. Choose yearly billing only after a month of real use. The $100 to $500 plans make sense only for people who use AI many hours every day, such as developers or agencies.
Paying from Armenia
Most services accept international Visa and Mastercard cards issued by Armenian banks. Some apps charge through the App Store or Google Play, where the price can include local tax. If a payment fails, try a different card or pay on the website instead of the mobile app.
