Subscription is access, not ownership

AI-People separates marketplace access from persona rights.

A subscription unlocks access to the catalog and marketplace infrastructure. It lets buyers explore personas, use filters, see previews, access purchasing capability and work inside a controlled marketplace.

But a subscription does not give rights to every AI model in the catalog.

Every AI model, AI avatar, AI influencer, AI persona or digital human remains a separate licensed asset. Rights appear only when the buyer purchases a specific package under a specific license.

This separation protects both sides: buyers understand what they are paying for, and creators keep their assets tied to clear license transactions.

Why paid catalog access exists

AI-People is not a casual image gallery.

It is a marketplace of licensed hyper-realistic AI people. The catalog includes commercial digital identities that can be used in advertising, social media, product visuals, paid pages, campaigns and long-term visual systems.

Paid access helps the platform keep the marketplace focused on real commercial use.

It supports:

- manual moderation
- catalog quality
- licensing transparency
- protected purchasing flows
- controlled access to higher-value personas
- a better environment for serious buyers and creators

The goal is not to charge for looking at pictures. The goal is to maintain a marketplace where licensed AI people are handled as commercial assets.

What subscription gives

A subscription gives marketplace access.

Depending on the plan, it can unlock:

- catalog visibility
- previews
- filters
- purchase capability
- access to public creator pages
- likes and favorites
- feed interactions
- post-purchase reviews
- creator communication
- priority release access
- access to special catalog sections

This access helps buyers evaluate personas before committing to a separate license purchase.

The subscription is the door to the marketplace. The license is the right to use a selected persona.

What subscription does not give

A subscription does not replace persona licensing.

It does not automatically grant use rights to all AI personas in the catalog. It does not give ownership of a persona. It does not include every future custom order. It does not rewrite rights already issued under previous purchases. It does not work like seat-based software access where paying for a plan defines legal usage scope.

The legal usage scope comes from the license attached to each purchased persona.

That distinction is essential.

If a buyer wants to use an AI model commercially, the buyer needs both access to the marketplace and a separate purchase of the selected licensed package.

START: short access for first-time buyers

START is designed for first-time buyers who want to understand the catalog and make an initial commercial purchase.

It gives short-term catalog access for 48 hours, basic filters and the ability to purchase standard commercial license packages.

START is useful when the buyer wants to:

- inspect the platform
- understand available personas
- make a first purchase
- test the catalog without committing to regular access
- use a standard commercial license package

Its limits are clear: no exclusive or priority-release personas, no advanced access and no creator communication.

START is an entry plan, not a professional workflow plan.

STANDARD: regular marketplace access

STANDARD is designed for consistent buyers.

It gives full catalog access, extended previews, filters excluding special restricted sections, access to purchases across license models, likes, favorites, feed interactions, post-purchase reviews and access to public creator pages.

STANDARD is useful when the buyer regularly works with AI personas for:

- advertising
- social media
- product visuals
- campaign testing
- recurring content
- business materials
- buyer research
- license comparison

This plan fits buyers who expect to return to the catalog more than once and need a practical way to evaluate, save and purchase personas.

PREMIUM: professional and agency access

PREMIUM is designed for professionals and agencies that need deeper access.

It includes the Standard level and adds access to special catalog sections, direct communication with creators through the platform, priority access to new persona releases and priority opportunity to pursue Exclusive Commercial Rights deals.

PREMIUM is useful when the buyer needs:

- stronger control
- direct creator collaboration
- priority release access
- faster review of new personas
- access to more sensitive or restricted catalog sections
- deeper preparation for exclusive rights deals

This plan is for buyers who treat AI people as part of serious visual production, not occasional testing.

Why licenses remain separate transactions

A subscription cannot define rights to a specific persona because each persona is a separate asset.

Different buyers may need different rights. One buyer may need a short commercial test. Another may need exclusive commercial use. Another may want ownership-level control. These cannot be handled by one general access fee.

That is why every serious persona transaction needs its own license record.

The subscription answers: can the buyer access the marketplace and purchase?

The license answers: what exactly can the buyer do with the selected AI person?

What happens when subscription ends

When subscription access ends, the catalog can return to a showcase mode.

The buyer may still see previews and prices, but new purchases are unavailable until renewal. Previously purchased personas remain valid under their issued licenses.

This is important.

Subscription expiration should not cancel rights already issued through separate persona purchases. The buyer’s license rights depend on the license transaction, not on continuous catalog access.

The subscription controls future marketplace access. The license controls use of the purchased asset.

How buyers should choose a plan

Buyers should choose by intent, not by habit.

Choose START when you want a short look, first purchase and basic commercial access.

Choose STANDARD when you expect regular catalog use, broader filtering, repeated purchases, public creator page access and better persona comparison.

Choose PREMIUM when you need direct creator communication, priority new releases, special catalog sections and stronger access for exclusive rights planning.

The right plan depends on how often the buyer searches, how valuable the persona may become and whether custom or exclusive work is part of the plan.

Practical checklist

Before choosing a subscription plan, ask:

Do I only want to inspect the marketplace? Am I ready to make a first purchase? Will I buy more than one persona? Do I need all main filters? Do I need access to creator pages? Do I need direct communication with creators? Am I planning exclusive rights? Do I need priority access to new personas? Do I understand that persona licenses are purchased separately?

The clean rule is simple:

Subscribe for marketplace access. Purchase for persona rights.

The practical advantage

AI-People pricing is built around the difference between access and rights.

Subscription gives buyers structured access to a controlled marketplace of AI models, AI avatars, AI influencers, AI personas and digital humans. Persona purchases give rights to specific licensed assets.

This makes the system easier to understand.

Buyers pay for access when they need the marketplace. They pay for licenses when they choose actual AI people. Creators benefit because persona value remains attached to clear asset transactions instead of being absorbed into a general subscription.

That is the point of the model: cleaner access, clearer licenses and better control over commercial AI people.
