would you please share the revenue model with us? Obviously you proved there is an interest in your product and problem you are solving, but now with the cost to keep the lights up - how do you plan on making money?

thanks!

Thanks for the question. Avatars.io is one service we offer as part of our broader API and family of media services - see getchute.com. While we will maintain a generous free tier, we will eventually charge for access to the underlying API. Avatars.io itself is not a standalone business but is, however, a great way for developers to get started with Chute.
