The hybrid platform fee
Aurora pairs a predictable monthly subscription with a small fee on the client payments we help you process. It keeps the base price low for operators just starting out while aligning our success with yours: we earn more only when you're booking and getting paid for more shows. Funds settle directly to your Stripe account.
AI-credit add-on
AI show generation runs on metered credits that reflect real compute cost. Your plan includes a starting allowance; when you need more, top up with a credit add-on. Because every render is cost-metered, you can see what a generation will spend before you commit — no surprise bills.
FAQ
Pricing questions
- How does the hybrid pricing work?
- You pay a flat monthly subscription for your plan, plus a small platform fee on the client payments Aurora processes for you through Stripe Connect. Your clients' funds settle directly to your own Stripe account — Aurora never holds your money.
- What are AI credits?
- AI show generation (text-to-show drafting and AI drone logos) consumes metered credits that reflect the underlying compute cost. Each plan includes a starting allowance, and you can add more credits as an add-on whenever you need them. Generation is always cost-metered, so you can see what a render will spend before you run it.
- Are there Stripe processing fees on top of the platform fee?
- Stripe charges its own standard payment-processing fees, which are separate from Aurora's platform fee. Those go to Stripe as your payment processor.
- Can I change plans later?
- Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade as your business grows; seat counts and active-show limits adjust with your plan.
- Do you offer a free trial?
- You can start free and explore the platform before committing to a paid plan. Reach out if you'd like a guided walkthrough first.
- Is the FAA airspace overlay a substitute for authorization?
- No. The airspace overlay and AI safety checks are advisory aids to help you plan. You remain responsible for obtaining the proper authorizations and complying with all applicable regulations.
