Let customers pay for AI.Keep your product in focus.

The part worth solving
AI billing can become a product of its own.
Usage varies. Customers need a payment path. Your team needs a way to connect application activity to its earnings.
A clearer model
One clear money flow.
The customer pays ShareAI, inference is routed through the marketplace, and your configured surcharge contributes to your Builder earnings.
Where it fits
Useful work. A revenue path.
01
For the customer
Usage payment goes directly to ShareAI.
02
For your team
Set the margin attached to your application traffic.
03
For the product
Keep your existing hosting, delivery and customer experience.

This estimates earnings over a month, not an immediate withdrawal. Validated company Builders receive surcharge payouts after 45 days. Individual Builders currently receive inference value for use within ShareAI, with no cash-out.
Builder earnings & participation
Clear earnings. Shared responsibility.
Your account type determines how you use your surcharge earnings. The same standards of honesty and care apply to everyone.
45 daysBefore company surcharge payouts
Surcharge earnings are paid out after a 45-day review period. This gives every customer or beneficiary time to raise concerns and gives ShareAI time to review and resolve them as promptly as possible.
Company Builders
Cash-out after validation
Only companies that have completed ShareAI’s validation process can enter the Builders cash-out program. Validated company Builders can withdraw surcharge earnings after the 45-day review period.
Individual Builders
Value for your next inference
For now, individual Builders accumulate inference value and can convert it into AI usage within ShareAI. Cash withdrawals are not available to personal accounts.
Personal and company balances stay separate. Earnings or inference value cannot move in either direction, including when you form or join a company.
A decentralized network still has principles and values.
Abuse is not tolerated. Any attempted fraud or malicious action against ShareAI, its platform or its customers results in a permanent ban with no right of appeal. In serious cases, we reserve the right to take legal action.
You build, host and distribute your application outside ShareAI. ShareAI is the routing, usage, billing and monetization layer for AI inference traffic sent through it.
Who pays for the AI usage?+
Your end customer pays ShareAI directly for routed AI usage. Your configured application margin is attached to that traffic.
Can I also be a Provider?+
Builder earnings come from the configured margin on your app traffic. Provider rewards come from contributing eligible compute. They are separate roles and earning paths.
When is my surcharge paid out?+
For validated company Builders, surcharge earnings are paid out after a 45-day review period. Earnings come from actual routed usage; the calculator’s monthly estimate does not mean an immediate withdrawal.
Why is there a 45-day review period?+
Every customer or beneficiary needs time to raise a concern about the service they received. The 45-day period lets them do that and lets ShareAI review and resolve concerns as promptly as possible.
Can individual Builders withdraw money?+
Not at the moment. Individual Builders accumulate inference value and can convert it into AI usage within ShareAI. Cash-out is available only to company Builders that have completed validation.
Does a company need to be validated first?+
Yes. Only companies that have completed ShareAI’s validation process can enter the Builders cash-out program. Registering a company account alone does not qualify it. Individual participation currently provides inference value only.
If I form a company, can I transfer my personal earnings?+
No. Earnings and inference value accumulated in a personal account cannot be transferred to a company account. Company earnings cannot be transferred to a personal account either. Forming, joining or switching to a company does not merge the balances.
What happens if someone attempts fraud or abuses the network?+
Any attempted fraud or malicious action against ShareAI, its platform or its customers results in a permanent ban with no right of appeal. In serious cases, ShareAI reserves the right to take legal action. Abuse is not tolerated: a decentralized network still has principles and values.
