ChatGPT costs MX$350/month in Mexico. Here's the MX$35 alternative.

MX$350 per month for ChatGPT Plus.

In Mexico, that's not pocket change. For many developers, that's 2-3 days of work just to pay for an AI subscription.

I built an alternative: SimplyLouie — Claude-powered AI at MX$35/month. One-tenth the price.

The math is simple

Monthly cost Annual cost
ChatGPT Plus MX$350 MX$4,200
SimplyLouie MX$35 MX$420
You save MX$315/month MX$3,780/year

MX$3,780 per year back in your pocket. That's a flight, a new laptop fund, or 315 tacos.

Why so cheap?

No office. No 10,000-person sales team. No Wall Street to satisfy.

Just me, a server, and Anthropic's API. I pass the savings to you.

Same Claude. 10x cheaper.

SimplyLouie uses Claude (Anthropic's model) — the same AI powering Claude.ai. You get:

  • ✅ Unlimited conversations
  • ✅ Code assistance
  • ✅ Writing and analysis
  • ✅ No per-message limits
  • ✅ 50% of revenue goes to animal rescue

Try it with curl first 

curl -X POST https://simplylouie.com/api/chat \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "Hola, escribe un script de Python para leer un CSV"}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The API works anywhere. Integrate it into your own tools, scripts, or workflows.

Who is this for?

Mexican developers, students, and freelancers who:

  • Can't justify MX$350/month for AI
  • Want Claude's quality without ChatGPT's price
  • Need API access for their own projects
  • Want to support an indie product that gives back

7-day free trial

No charge for 7 days. Then MX$35/month auto-renews. Cancel anytime.

Card required to start — but you won't be charged until day 8.
