| Best for | ChatGPT Plus users who want images without paying extra. | Any ML/AI developer. Hobbyists exploring open models. | Anyone running autonomous AI agents (shopping bots, booking assistants, personal AI) who wants delegated payment capability without handing over raw card data. | Podcasters, course creators, anyone editing talking-head content. |

| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | Stripe Link is the most credible first move toward a real agentic payment layer — the one-time-use card model is genuinely clever, and the existing merchant network gives it a head start no startup wallet can match. But the 'approve every transaction' UX will get old fast, and the hard part (autonomous spending with guardrails) is still on the roadmap. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
