Betting against MRR: Why I chose Pay-As-You-Go

Everyone is building AI tools for 30-second clips, but I feel like the long-form YouTube space (10+ min videos) is being neglected. The current tools that do exist often feel clunky or lock you into expensive monthly subscriptions even if you only make 1 video a month.

I’m working on a "Slideshow/Documentary" style video generator specifically for long-form content.

The main difference? No subscriptions required.

I'm thinking of a transactional model:

$4 per video (no strings attached).

$2.5 - $3 per video if you buy a bundle/subscribe.

Is this something you’d actually use? Or do you prefer the monthly sub model that current tools like InVideo/Pictory use?

Looking for honest feedback before I write a single line of code.
