I like the app and I heard that you are a one-man team and you are struggling with money so you're making it more in-app purchases what I would recommend to do is probably use like the cheapest version of models and then make stuff that is like bigger like where you choose the model and you can also add ads and people can pay through ads this is just a suggestion

Hi Brian, thank you so much for the 5-star review and for the thoughtful suggestions! Really appreciate you looking out for the app. I'm constantly exploring ways to keep Arc affordable while sustaining development — offering model choices and ad-supported options are ideas I'm actively considering. Thanks again for the support, it means a lot! 🙏

I'm an indie developer and Arc is my livelihood. I was able to keep it free while I had free credits, but with the recent surge in users I've been losing money for months. I kept the subscription price as low as possible to sustain the app. I hope you understand - a solo dev trying to keep the lights on.

Fantastic experience! The premium subscription is well worth it, especially since it syncs seamlessly across all my Android devices. Using it on my Samsung Fold 8 has been a game-changer; having the ability to instantly draft, refine, or summarize text and use it to do different tasks on any webpage is incredibly convenient and a huge productivity booster. I'm actually using the tool right now to polish this review—highly recommended! The price is amazing!
