This is why companies like OpenAI are investing heavily in software layers, infrastructure, and proprietary platforms, like ChatGPT Enterprise and projects such as Stargate to build defensible, recurring revenue beyond raw token usage.

Even heavy users typically generate only $1–$2 worth of usage at API rates, meaning the cost to serve most paying users is minimal. Free users likely cost $XXXX or less monthly, reinforcing the strong unit economics of the freemium model. - Looking ahead, the expert expects consumer subscriptions to plateau as AI assistants become embedded natively in platforms like $GOOGL or iOS, similar to how search and voice assistants are monetized indirectly today.
