Own the studio, not just rent it
Most AI creation tools are someone else's app, or a single-purpose WordPress add-on. StudioUI is a complete, multi-medium studio that runs on your site — hosted or self-hosted.
| StudioUI | Standalone apps (e.g. Midjourney, Character.ai) | Single-feature WP plugins | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Image generation | Yes | Sometimes | Usually |
| Video & GIF | Yes | Sometimes | Rare |
| Music generation | Yes | Rare | Rare |
| Chat companions + voice | Yes | Yes | No |
| No-setup hosted compute | Yes | Yes | Usually keys-only |
| Bring your own API keys | Yes (Pro) | No | Sometimes |
| Self-host / fully private | Yes (Pro) | No | Rare |
| Full creative control on your own hardware | Yes — Pro self-host | No | No |
| Resell credits to your members | Yes | No | Rare |
| Use any payment processor you choose | Yes — any WooCommerce gateway | No | Sometimes |

| One unified interface | Yes | Varies | Per-feature |
| Works with any WooCommerce gateway | Yes | No | Sometimes |
Category comparison for orientation — capabilities of specific products vary. BYO keys and self-hosting are Pro features ($149/yr). Advanced generation is self-host-only on Pro.
The difference is ownership
vs. standalone apps
Companion and image apps keep your users, your data and your revenue on their platform. With StudioUI the studio lives on your domain — you set the brand, the prices and the rules.

Most WordPress AI plugins do one thing — just images, or just chat. StudioUI is five studios plus companions in one cohesive, maintained product.

Skip the DevOps. Start on hosted compute with a one-time code, then graduate to your own keys and GPUs on Pro whenever you want — no migration, no rebuild.
