Request for roast -- tell me why my product is trash
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m working on Consumely, a tool aimed at helping businesses manage and optimize the usage of multiple SaaS and AI tools, particularly around tracking costs and forecasting consumption.
Here’s the backstory:
I’ve had my fair share of frustration with hitting limits on tools like ChatGPT or other AI platforms, where I run out of credits and can’t continue. Or worse, the constant overages on SaaS tools that charge you more when you exceed your plan’s usage. It’s a pain, right? That's why I thought - what if there was a way to manage all these limits in one place, track usage in real-time, and forecast when I’m going to hit them? That’s where Consumely comes in.
Consumely aims to:
Track usage in real-time across multiple tools, so you know exactly where you stand before hitting a limit or getting slapped with extra charges.
Help businesses optimize tool usage and avoid those annoying overages that sneak up on you.
Forecast consumption so you can plan ahead and not get caught by surprise when limits reset.
Allow you to set usage limits per team or individual, so you can prevent overages and make sure everyone stays within budget.
But I need your help to make sure this actually solves a real problem! Don’t hold back - I want the brutal truth.
Here’s what I’m hoping to learn:
Do you have enough SaaS/AI tools where something like this would make sense?
What's the distribution of tools which use Consumption/Usage as a cost metric VS license/seats?
Is this solving a real pain point, or is it just another tool that doesn’t address a pressing problem?
Does this sound like a tool you’d use to manage your own SaaS and AI tools?
I’m looking for the raw feedback to make this product better. Tell me why it’s trash if you think it is!

Thanks for helping me out!
