It’s time for Google to address this major Play Store issue

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-26 16:00:20

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority Google’s Play Store has a serious problem, and it’s something that’s a big source of frustration for me. While many apps on the Play Store offer subscriptions, I find it nearly impossible to figure out the exact price before I download them. Google makes it clear that an app offers “in-app purchases” right on the main page, but it never gives me the crucial pricing information I need. This might seem like a small issue, but for me, it matters a lot. Price is

Launch HN: Skope (YC S25) – Outcome-based pricing for software products

Hi HN, we’re Ben and Connor, the co-founders of Skope ( https://www.useskope.com/ ), a billing system that supports outcome-based pricing for software—that is, which charges your customers only when your software actually works. We’re an alternative to Stripe Billing, Orb, and Metronome that natively supports this pricing model, because we believe it’s especially needed for the AI products which are flooding the market and that will continue to be built in the future.

AYN TL;DR AYN’s upcoming dual-screen Thor handheld will start at just $249. That’s $100 cheaper than the AYANEO Pocket DS, although it’s smaller and less powerful.

AWS pricing for Kiro dev tool dubbed 'a wallet-wrecking tragedy'

news.ycombinator.com Tim Anderson 2025-11-09 14:40:44

AWS has introduced new pricing for Kiro, its AI-driven coding tool, but unlike the pricing originally announced, the latest plans are "a wallet-wrecking tragedy," according to many of its users. "Kiro's spec-driven AI IDE is a gem," said open source PHP and Laravel engineer Antonio Ribeiro on GitHub, "until I saw your new pricing." AWS introduced Kiro last month as a fork of Code OSS (also used by Visual Studio Code) with a distinctive approach to AI coding assistance, based on specifications

OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war

OpenAI astounded the tech industry for the second time this week by launching its newest flagship model, GPT-5, just days after releasing two new freely available models under an open source license. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on o
