The dog came first
Before SimplyLouie was a product, before the $2/month pricing, before the 8-country launch — there was a dog.
Louie was rescued from a shelter in 2019. Skinny, scared, and scheduled to be euthanized. He cost more in vet bills that first month than most Nigerian developers earn in a week.
That moment planted a question: why do the best things in life — good AI, good healthcare, good tools — cost so much more if you were born in the wrong country?
The problem with AI pricing
ChatGPT costs $20/month. Claude Pro costs $20/month. Gemini Advanced costs $20/month.
In the US, that's roughly 0.25% of a developer's monthly income. Painful but manageable.
In Nigeria, $20/month is N32,000 — about 6.4% of a developer's monthly income.
In the Philippines, it's P1,120 — about 4.2% of a developer's monthly income.
In Ghana, it's GH₵250 — about 5.8% of a developer's monthly income.
Same AI. Same features. 20-25x more expensive in real purchasing power.
The SimplyLouie answer
SimplyLouie is Claude — the same Anthropic AI that powers Claude Pro — at $2/month flat.
No tiers. No tokens to count. No usage anxiety. Just Claude, working.

The mission is the product
50% of every SimplyLouie subscription goes to animal rescue.
Not "we donate when we reach a goal." Not "a portion of profits." Half. Every month. Automatically.
When you pay $2/month for SimplyLouie, $1 goes to rescuing animals like Louie.
The other $1 keeps the servers running.
It's not a charity play. It's how the product is built — the mission is structural, not marketing.
