AI Assistant Service Cost Comparison Table

3.90

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Proliferation of AI assistant shopping services
Step 2 Opaque billing structures for middle-aged users adopting AI assistants
Step 3 Actual cost comparison of AI assistant subscriptions and commissions + savings simulator

Problem

When people in their 50s and 60s start shopping with AI assistants (Clova, Kakao, etc.) instead of Naver or Coupang, they find it hard to understand the monthly subscription fees, per-transaction commissions, and the margin structure of recommended products. Many AI assistant services tout 'free', but in reality, 10-15% commissions are embedded in recommended products, leading to an extra 30,000-50,000 KRW (~$22.50-$37.50) in monthly spending without their knowledge.

Solution

The service compares the billing structures of major AI assistant services (Clova, Kakao, Coupang, etc.) in a table. Users input their monthly shopping items and amounts, and the service calculates the actual cost for each service (subscription + commission + price difference) to show which route is cheapest.

Target: People aged 50-60 who shop online at least once a week and have recently started using or are considering AI assistant services.
Revenue Model: Free comparison service. CPA commission via affiliate shopping links, monthly 'Smart Shopping Report' subscription at 2,900 KRW (~$2.18).
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
