Anime avatar tools shouldn't have subscriptions

Most AI anime avatar makers I tried before building

Anumi had the same flow:

"Free trial → enter card → 7 days later, $9.99/mo billed

automatically → make 2 avatars → forget to cancel."

For a product where most users want ONE good output,

the subscription model feels predatory. Yet it dominates

the category.

We launched Anumi this week as the explicit anti-thesis:

$3.99 per credit, no subscription ever, free preview

without email or card. The bundle (avatar + sticker +

3 product mockups + 5 PFP crops + commercial license)

ships at the base tier instead of behind a premium gate.

Curious what the community thinks:

→ Is there a category where subscription is genuinely

the wrong model, but it's the default anyway?

→ Have you ever bought a subscription tool and

genuinely felt scammed by the renewal flow?

→ Would you pay 1 time $3.99 for an anime version of

your selfie? Or wait for free alternatives?
