Built on Values, Not Just Code

We believe great tools deserve honest pricing. Not just cheap—fair.

We'd rather show you how it works than sell you a dream at a markup.

The Nuanced Reality of Cost
Here's what actually goes into running this platform—no corporate speak, just the real numbers.
ItemWhat It Actually CostsWhy It Matters
Image/Video Generation (varies by model)
$0.002–$0.975 depending on resolution and providerWe offer multiple model types -- some cost 487x more to run than others. We don't inflate prices; we balance them.
Affiliate Losses
Key Impact
~30% of sale valueAn older program that served us well but now limits our margin. We're working to evolve.
Payment Processing Fees
2.9% + $0.30 per transactionStandard cost of doing online business.
Human Salaries
~$2,800/weekReal people handle support, improvements, moderation, and bugs -- this isn't a faceless machine.
Rendering & Delivery
$0.04–$1.25+ per RenderGenerating media is only half the journey -- rendering is what makes it real. From GPU-intensive processing to high-speed encoding and hosting, this ensures your video isn’t just created, but polished, playable, and ready to share.
Your Credit Price
Key Impact
$0.10/creditOften sold at a loss. We're not profit-seeking right now -- we're belief-backed.

Note: Prices vary by model load, resolution, and provider. We price credits below our average costs to keep things simple and consistent—our goal is usability, not upselling.

Our Credit Philosophy

Instead of variable pricing per model or resolution, we use credits to make billing simple and predictable. Many projects end up costing us more than the credit you use -- we're okay with that as long as it keeps things smooth for you.

Why We're Still Doing It

Raw model costs can be pennies -- but that's just the surface. We absorb infrastructure costs, salaries, affiliate losses -- and still keep pricing flat. We fund this personally because we believe in its future -- and yours.

We don't inflate, bundle, or bait. Just clear, honest pricing.

If and when prices do shift, you'll hear it from us early -- with reason, care, and options. We're building this with you, not just for you.

We're not trying to stay small. Pricing transparency lets us grow with integrity -- and your support lets us keep improving without venture pressure or ads.
