Support The Project
Our mission is not to make money—it's to serve the board game community and help people discover amazing games. We just want to keep the lights on and, at minimum, break even.
Why We Need Your Support
The Chat Quest is a passion project built to help board game lovers find their next favorite game. While we've designed it to be as cost-efficient as possible using Cloudflare's infrastructure, running an AI-powered service still incurs real costs.
Current Limitations
Due to budget constraints, we currently limit the number of queries per user per day. This ensures everyone gets fair access while we manage infrastructure costs:
- Anonymous users: 10 queries/day
- Registered users: 30 queries/day
Our Monthly Costs
Here's a transparent breakdown of our estimated monthly costs based on usage:
| Monthly Active Users | Monthly Cost |

| 50 - 100 users | ~€15 - €25/month |
