Benjamin Boyce's OneTime Suite aims to rebuild 100 popular subscription-based apps in 100 days using AI-assisted development. Every app is open source, while polished versions are sold for a one-time fee instead of recurring subscriptions. By targeting tools like Linktree, Loom, and Wispr Flow, the project questions whether perpetual SaaS subscriptions are still necessary in the AI era.
