Didn't realise it was a subscription service too. How dim would you have to be to pay 700 dollars for a device on the understanding that it won't work unless you keep paying 24 more dollars every single month?
People that buy subscriptions like this are a bigger problem than the companies that offer them
Their subscription service costs $24 a month? This is madness.
I am guessing this because the processing is done in the cloud? But then why the $700 price for the "AI Pin" device; what exactly does it do justify a $700 cost if processing is done in the cloud?
it could explicitly be a reasonable deterrent. if you double your price, but lose half your customers, you've made the same amount of money for half the work.
