Token-based pricing gives me a bit of anxiety. Concern that'll never use them, or that I'll use them too quickly.

Any thoughts on a pricing model where I pay an upfront cost, but get to generate images locally on my own machine?

A local model and upfront cost isn't something that's likely in the short term, but not out of the cards entirely.

I'm hoping to eventually add a free tier generation mode for once you've run out of "fast" generations. For version 1 I went with the simple token approach — my main priority was to make sure I was covering costs as I scale things up and get feedback for the next iteration.
