When I started building AI influencers, I had absolutely no idea what to price content at.

I spent ages looking at other creators, trying to work out what I should charge. Even then, it still felt like I was just guessing.

For those who don't know me, I'm the founder of VueMate, currently the #1 chatbot app on the Fanvue App Store. One thing that's pretty unique about VueMate is that we see a huge amount of anonymous pricing data, and that dataset is only going to get bigger as more creators use the platform.

I trade quite a bit, so I'm always looking at charts, trends and market sentiment. It got me thinking... why don't we treat creator content like a market?

Other chatbot platforms often say their AI "understands" images without relying on keywords. In reality, AI models rely heavily on context to understand what's in front of them.

Across VueMate, our tags are that context. Every image is automatically analysed and tagged, giving us structured data about the content. When you aggregate that anonymously across thousands of pieces of content, you start to see real market trends emerge.

So I built the Vault Price Index.

Every tag is treated like its own market. You can see the current market rate, demand, price history and typical pricing range, making it much easier to price content based on actual market behaviour instead of gut feeling.

You can even enable market pricing inside your Ai Chatbot Vault, where VueMate will use that live market data to dynamically recommend or set prices for your content. If the market shifts over time, your pricing can shift with it instead of staying static.

I know pricing isn't one-size-fits-all. Some creators use flexible pricing, which is why VueMate also has a Pricing Ladder and our Rankd system, allowing prices to scale based on subscriber value, loyalty and spending habits. The Vault Price Index isn't there to tell you what to charge. It's there to give you a market baseline that you can use however you like.

We only just released the feature today, but I think it'll become genuinely useful as more data comes in. I've already got a long list of ideas for expanding it, but I'd love to hear what other market insights you'd find useful.

I got tired of guessing Fanvue PPV prices for my AI influencer, so I built this instead.
