Developer Program (Echo)
Build apps using AINative APIs and earn revenue from your customers' usage. Set your markup (0-40%), and AINative handles billing, usage tracking, and payouts.
How It Works
- Register as a developer on AINative
- Build your app using AINative Chat API, ZeroDB, or MCP servers
- Set your markup (0-40% on top of base API costs)
- Your customers use your app — usage is tracked automatically
- Get paid weekly via Stripe Connect ($10 minimum payout)
AINative takes a 5% platform fee from developer earnings.
Revenue Example
If base API cost is $1.00 and you set 20% markup:
- Customer pays: $1.20
- Your earnings: $0.20
- Platform fee (5%): $0.01
- You receive: $0.19
