hosman20 puts Mike behind a paywall
The fork now ships with a full Stripe subscription stack, a 14-day trial on signup, and a paywall that intercepts every AI call.
hosman20 has wired Mike up as a paid product. New signups automatically get a 14-day trial; once that expires - or the user blows past their token allowance - the backend refuses the next AI request with a structured reason code, and the browser quietly redirects them to a public pricing page with Starter, Professional, and Enterprise tiers. A countdown banner inside the app reminds trial users where they stand, and a billing settings tab links out to Stripe's customer portal for self-serve upgrades and cancellations.
The plumbing is the interesting part: token usage is tallied after each chat stream finishes rather than before it starts, so metering never slows the response down. The Enterprise tier is still a sales-email placeholder, but everything beneath it is in place and covered by tests.
