Hi everyone, I’m Daniel a visual artist. More and more of the images, video and sound I make now go through AI services, and before every project I kept asking myself the same question: what will this whole project actually cost me? The answer was never in one place. It was spread across credits, plans that include “up to” something, pricing tables three clicks deep, and prices that change from month to month. genburn is the thing I wanted to exist: a way to find out what an AI project will actually cost. You describe the project the way you’d normally say it — “45 videos, 18 images, 6 songs” — and genburn gives you the cost in dollars for each service, including the model and plan used. Every figure links to the vendor’s own pricing page, with the date it was read, and shows the calculation behind it. Most price lists only show API rates. genburn also converts credits and subscription plans into dollars, and prices the whole project rather than a single API operation. What it doesn’t do: it doesn’t review services or give them scores, and nobody can pay to appear in the results or move up in them. Each price is extracted twice, independently. If the two passes disagree, the price stays out. That’s also why some services are missing: a price behind a login isn’t a source. Right now it covers images, video and audio across 43 services. Some jobs it can’t price yet, and when it doesn’t understand part of what you typed, it says so instead of guessing. What was the last thing you made with AI? And how much did it actually cost?
