Hey there, tech lovers! Today, we’re diving into the exciting news about The Browser Company and its new subscription plan. Buckle up, because it’s a fascinating addition to the world of AI browsers.
They’ve rolled out a Pro plan for Dia, their AI-infused web browser, costing $20 monthly. This plan unlocks unlimited access to Dia’s smart chat and skill features, making browsing smarter and more fun.
The move to a paid tier means casual users will soon face limits on their AI functionalities. While specific caps weren’t detailed, the CEO mentioned that the browser will stay free for those who use AI features sparingly, about a few times a week.
This new subscription layer is just one of several options, with Miller hinting at multiple tiers ranging from $5 to hundreds of dollars a month. Noticing some hiccups, users initially spotted the Pro plan online before it was removed but now it’s accessible via Dia’s settings. The company plans to introduce various tiers based on feature sets.
As the company that previously developed the Arc browser, they’ve raised a hefty $128 million from known investors, including Pace Capital, Next Play Ventures, and tech icons like Jeff Weiner and Dylan Field. This subscription plan is their first step into revenue generation.
The competition is fierce, with other AI-friendly browsers like Perplexity’s Comet and Opera’s Neon making waves, alongside giants like Google and Microsoft integrating AI tools into their browsers. The browser scene is heating up, and Dia’s new plan is part of this energetic landscape.
