What is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)?
BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. Instead of paying a SaaS tool for AI credits, you connect your own API key from OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude — and the tool uses your key directly.
This means you pay the AI provider's wholesale rate, not a marked-up subscription.
Why it matters for solo founders
Most AI tools charge $30–50/month on top of what you'd pay the AI provider anyway. With BYOK, you cut out the middleman.
