Why ModelHubby doesn’t include tokens
ModelHubby is not another inference reseller. It is the research, consistency, and implementation layer for developers using free, BYOK, and low-friction providers. You keep control of your own provider accounts and costs; ModelHubby gives you the intelligence, guides, and recipes to choose better and integrate faster. The value is in reduced chaos, not bundled usage.
FAQ
Is this an API gateway?
Not primarily. ModelHubby starts as a provider intelligence and implementation platform — tools and guidance for choosing, comparing, and wiring providers into real projects. (A local, open gateway ships with the CLI.)
Does it include tokens or API credits?
No. You bring your own provider accounts or free-tier access. ModelHubby helps you find the right providers, understand the tradeoffs, and implement them well.
Why pay if there are no tokens?
Because the product saves research time, reduces onboarding friction, and gives you proven implementation patterns. The value is in faster decisions and fewer dead ends, not bundled inference.
What's included in the Indie plan?
Indie unlocks the daily verified stream with drift alerts, all 40 setup guides and key rotation runbooks, the full recipes library and framework kits, 15 watchlists with instant alerts, editorial best-for guidance, the full snapshot archive, and server-built prebuilds. Friction metadata and the full provider directory are free for everyone.
Why is it so cheap?
Because ModelHubby is the front door, not the whole house. The catalog is free because freshness is the product, and Indie is priced to be an easy yes rather than a business on its own. If you outgrow it, VaibOS is where the routing, key management, and one-click recipes actually live.
What does lifetime mean?
$36 once, and Indie never lapses. No renewal, no founding window, no cap on how many are sold. It is a one-time purchase, so there is no subscription to cancel.
