FixTiming: pay-as-you-go AI image credits
Buy AI design asset credits that never expire — no subscription required
- Problem
- Many designers and programmers use AI image platforms only in bursty, high-intensity sessions, yet mainstream products bundle monthly subscriptions with credits that reset even if unused, while heavy users run out. Some developers have resorted to building their own platform, confirming the mismatch between usage frequency and pricing is a widespread pain.
- Solution
- A workspace for generating images and design assets sold as one-time credit packs that never expire, showing the exact cost of each generation. It includes common design-asset templates and a batch generation queue with export to common design tools, so low-frequency users don't pay monthly.
- Users
- Designers who generate in bursts, programmers and indie developers needing batch assets
- MVP
- Basic text-to-image and image-to-image workspace; one-time credit pack purchase with balance display; credits that never expire; common design asset templates; batch queue with export
- Revenue
- One-time credit pack sales with volume discounts; later team-shared credit pools and premium template packs
- Why now
- Subscription-plus-credit pricing on major AI image platforms is widely disliked and the demand is validated by community discussion; a solo dev can build on existing model APIs where the billing experience is the differentiator
