AltGenie
Pricing

Pay for the plugin. Not for every image.

AltGenie is licensed annually. The AI itself is billed by your own provider, at their rates — which for most sites lands somewhere between nothing and a few dollars.

Free

The honest maths

An agency with 40 client sites.

Five thousand images each — 200,000 in total. Here is the whole first-year bill, both ways.

Estimates, not quotes. Credit pricing at 2¢ per image; AI at Gemini list rate. Provider rates change.

Gemini usage, 200,000 images~$80
AltGenie total~$229
Typical credit-based tool~$4,000
