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

1. Register as a developer on AINative
2. Build your app using AINative Chat API, ZeroDB, or MCP servers
3. Set your markup (0-40% on top of base API costs)
4. Your customers use your app — usage is tracked automatically
5. 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
