Buying and selling AI art generators

AI art generators are sold as apps, trained models and whole platforms. This is how to buy or sell one safely.

What you can buy

• standalone apps, usually web-based image generators built on Stable Diffusion or around DALL-E
• custom models fine-tuned on particular art styles
• prompt libraries for consistent results
• API access to hosted image generation
• complete platforms: a full SaaS with user accounts, billing and a gallery

Pricing

Price depends on what's included: a prompt library costs far less than an app, source code adds to the price, and a full platform with paying users costs most. Compare similar listings.

What to verify

Before buying, check:

• the model license (Stable Diffusion models have open weights with license conditions; DALL-E is OpenAI's closed model, used through its paid API)
• GPU requirements, if you'll host it yourself
• whether the source code is included
• API dependencies and their costs
• commercial use rights for the generated images

Selling AI art tools

When you list one:

• say exactly what's included (source, model, documentation)
• give the GPU and hardware requirements
• add demo links or screenshots
• set a realistic delivery time
• price it fairly for its complexity

With escrow, the buyer's payment is held until they confirm the tool works, so they can trust a seller they don't know.
