[Genspark] Show estimated credits before expensive operations

Hey team, writing this as one of your early paid subscribers from late 2024. I've actually been quietly recommending GenSpark to friends and colleagues because I genuinely believed in what you were building. But something concerning just happened that I think you'd want to know about: My experience today, simple tasks: * Topped up 10,000 credits (feeling optimistic!) * 10 minutes later: 4,000 credits consumed # Why I'm Sharing This I know startups face pressure - investors, scaling costs, runway concerns. Been there. But as an early believer who's sent paying customers your way, this feels off. It's starting to feel like those early cell phone days: "Hey, you got credits I can borrow real quick?" And honestly? I shouldn't be worried about that with a premium AI service in 2026. # Constructive Feedback What would make this better:  Cost transparency - Show estimated credits before expensive operations  Process optimization - Don't make 8 calls when 2 would work  Usage alerts - "Hey, this will cost \~X credits, proceed?"  Clear pricing - Help us understand what things actually cost # Why This Matters You built something special. Your all-in-one AI agent concept is genuinely innovative. Early adopters like me want you to succeed. But we also need to trust that: * We're not being overcharged due to inefficient processes * Costs are transparent and predictable * Our advocacy for your platform won't backfire on the people we recommended # To Your Team (And Your AI Radar 🛰️) I hope your super-powered all-in-one agent picks this up. This feedback comes from a good place. I'm hoping this is a growing pain that can be fixed, not a feature of the new business model. Would love to see the team address: * Credit consumption optimization * Better cost visibility * Maybe even a credit usage dashboard? I'm still rooting for you. Just wanted to flag this before more early believers have the same experience, then you lose everyone else. \- An early subscriber who wants to keep believing P.S. — Posted from a separate account because, honestly, I'm a bit nervous about potential account throttling or being flagged. That fear existing probably says something worth examining too. To the community: Has anyone else experienced unexpected credit consumption? Would love to hear if this is isolated or a pattern.
