Stop
overpaying
for AI.
Most people pay £18–20/month on a flat subscription. For their actual usage, the same AI costs under £2 via the API.
CheyX shows individuals and businesses exactly what they're wasting — and what to switch to. Free, no sign-up, real GBP prices.
Live example

API prices require technical setup — CheyX explains how. Figures verified May 2026.
