I'm curious how much you paid in the past month for API fees generated by these tools. Or at least what order of magnitude we're talking about.

I don't know, like, weekly coffee shop tab levels of money?

Interesting, I guess the ones I saw complaining about blowing through hundreds worth of API calls per session were just doing something wrong?
