Famous.ai REAL costs 🤮

Review

A buddy of mine wanted a quick turnaround for a simple two page app with an admin to display pricing. Thought I’d tinker with him. I advised just using a standard model/platform and learn as he went that they were fully capable. Well, for $28 we rolled the dice.

They play the you get 100 prompts with your sub… okay cool!

But you also get charged for simply having your project there, it charges you compute even if you aren’t promoting or generating. You get charged to per view of your own project, by you, per backend or db change, per image (above 1MB,) and on and on they tax the everloving 💩 out of you.

For every single action and inaction.

We used 13 prompts and was billed for ELEVEN HUNDRED HOURS OF COMPUTE! Simply for the projects existing.

Can’t post image but I have a full page capture of charges and “pricing”. Maybe we should have done more home work. But this definitely reeks of social media viral pheromone cologne sales or something. Gross.
