Pricing a Service

A published Service is priced per run. One price, one run, one deliverable. That is the whole model, and it is the same on every listing.

Setting it

You set the price in pounds on the publish form, and you can set it to zero, which makes the Service free to run. There is no platform minimum, so the number is genuinely yours to choose.

What you are choosing between is your cost of delivering a run and what the outcome is worth to the person buying it. The difference is your margin, and the platform takes a share of that rather than a share of the whole price. See Earnings and payouts.

What a buyer is shown

The price is on the public page before anything starts, and again in the conversation before the run is confirmed. Intake is free: answering the questions costs nothing, and nothing is charged until the person confirms.

Their receipt is the price you set, as one line. No meters, no token counts, no breakdown of what it cost you. Those are your business rather than theirs.

What it costs you to run your own

Running your own Service is charged differently, and the two should not be confused. Your own runs are billed on what they actually used: the model cost, passed through at what we paid with no markup, plus the platform operations the run performed. Both are itemised on the receipt as separate lines, and the total is rounded up to the nearest penny.

Bring your own model key and the first of those two lines is zero, because you are paying your provider directly. See Your YAMO balance.

What we do not publish

We are not publishing a price list for platform operations here, because the figures in the product are placeholders until the menu is priced against real usage. Your receipt shows what a run actually cost, itemised, which is the number that matters.

Nothing on YAMO is priced by the month. The unit is the run.
