Qillo is a service which offers custom-made brand illustrations with predefined style examples & up-front cost. Styles can be edited and expanded to fit any scale or purpose, while the transparent pricing offers clients instant insight into the needed budget.
Incredible presentation of Qillo! I adore how you've thought about transparency in project cost and time efficiency with your premade styles. Your commitment to customization and exclusive rights is a massive plus!
Like the concept!
If you don't mind me asking, what was the decision on price range based on? It is unusual to see a $50/piece price for a vector icon.
@rusyasurkova Hey Maria, good question, thanks!
We actually addressed it in the FAQ section on our website. Basically all presented prices are rough estimates based on the time it takes us to create a certain visual. Our work hour is priced at $50 usd. For example, if you see an illustration scene with an estimate of $300, that means we’re likely to spend about 6 hours on creating that scene.
The icon is somewhat of a starting price point, which would often go lower than $50 per icon if you consider that icons are usually done in batches. Also I would need to point out that these icons can sometimes be a bit more complex than the usual native-like ui icons. Hope this makes sense!

@rusyasurkova@sepra4life thanks for sharing the breakdown
while this is probably not within my needs / budget, it's great seeing founders being bold with pricing, the opposite is a bigger problem IMO
@rusyasurkova@vukasin Thanks for sharing Vukasin, that's good to know, and we'll definitely need to disclose the adjusted rates depending on the volume of work, which I previously addressed in my reply to @rusyasurkova.
In my opinion this transparent approach could either be turn off or turn on for potential clients, it's just a matter of positioning, but at least it's instant and you know what to expect. One big benefit is that there's no crazy quotation throwing which is almost a daily occurrence at most of the agencies that don't have a well developed pricing mechanism.
@thizizraz Thanks P! Although the model could be expanded, we aren't thinking about it seriously at the moment, at least not until we close the current roadmap we have, which I described in the first comment. The idea is to somehow niche it down as much as possible.
@kingromstar Thanks! You could try to train a model that could give you variations but it is highly unlikely that you'll get great results. Also keep in mind that these are all vector based illustration which is still kind of a problem for ai. On top of all this, you cannot trademark the images that were ai generated without the explicit permission from the author of the original work. ✌
The model looks great! Love seeing creators not just offering pics but complete solutions, really listening to customers' needs. The styles are also cool.
@kirill_kipo Thanks Kirill, glad you like our service model! We're going to start expanding our illustration style offering starting from next week. Our aim for the begging is to add a new style to our gallery every week. At some point, we hope we'll need a filter to sort them out. :)
