Estimates at Runpod's listed price for an RTX 4090 ($0.89/h), before start-up time. Your cost depends on the GPU, quality and length, and Runpod bills it to your Runpod account. Own-GPU times are estimates for an RTX 5070-class card and vary with your hardware, drivers and settings; you supply the hardware and power and run it at your own risk.

castingcard: GPU time at the studio's estimate (Runpod's listed price), billed by Runpod; the plan is separate ($279 once on Founder while seats last, $369 once for Pro, or $79 a month). Talking clips are priced at the 5-second clip's rate per second. Not included: start-up and idle GPU time, storage and re-takes. Badges: what about $197 a month buys, which on castingcard is the $79 plan plus GPU time for the rest, and elsewhere is that budget at each kind's prices. Others: approximate, from public pricing pages and 2026 rate surveys, checked 11 November 2026, and what you get differs by kind. Credit video apps: about $19 to $129 a month, 22 to 72 credits a clip by model. AI UGC apps: about $110 a month for 10 talking ads. UGC creators: survey averages of $150 to $212 a video, before usage rights. Prices change; check each provider before you buy.

Founder pays for itself. Then it keeps paying.

Against even the cheapest credits, Founder comes out ahead after about 470 clips. Drag to your own volume.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

The short answers. For anything else, write to the team.

01Does joining the waitlist commit me to anything?Waitlist

No. You get one email when the 400 Founder seats open, and you decide then. Joining is free.

02Why join before launch?Founder

Founder is the whole studio, Creator and Pro, for $279 once, and only 400 seats are sold. The list hears first when they open. After that, Pro's one-time price is $369.

03Do I need my own GPU?GPU

No. Use a graphics card you already have, or rent one from Runpod by the second on your own Runpod account. On Runpod, the studio sets the GPU up, runs your jobs on it and shuts it off after the idle time you choose.

04What does the GPU cost?Cost

Runpod's hourly price, for the time your jobs take. Runpod bills you directly, separately from your plan. You see an estimate before every job and can set a daily limit. On your own graphics card there's no GPU rental bill.

05What's free in the 10 free shots?Trial

The studio: its workflows, models and tools, for your first 10 photos or videos. The GPU they run on isn't included. On Runpod you pay Runpod's price for the seconds it runs, under 1¢ a photo and about 39¢ a 5-second video. On your own graphics card there's no GPU rental bill.

06Who sees my prompts and results?Privacy

They go straight between your browser and your GPU, local or rented. We don't store them.

Read the Privacy Policy
07Can I use real people?Rules

No. Every character is a fictional adult. Real people, celebrities and lookalikes aren't allowed.

Read the Acceptable Use Policy
08Can your team make the content for us?Agency

Yes, on Agency. We cast and train your models, shoot your photos and videos, and deliver content every month, with your brand kit and approvals. Email us to start.

09Can I get a refund?Plans

Use the free trial to test everything first. Paid plans start right away and aren't refundable.
