How much does ASEC cost? There's no entry fee — you only pay for the people you actually want to watch. Every paid post comes with a free preview first. Like what you see? Then choose to unlock that single post, subscribe to the creator, or get ASEC Membership for the platform's own content. Want to flirt with her or back her up? Send Hearts. Applying as a creator costs nothing; your revenue share is set in your contract, explained when you apply, with no hidden fees.
Watch first, pay later: every post has a free preview
You never have to pay up front and guess whether a video is any good. Paid videos come in three steps:
- Free preview: the opening plays right away. The creator decides how many seconds, and it autoplays as you scroll the feed.
- Half unlock: can't stop watching? Pay a lower price to unlock the first half or the highlight cut.
- Full unlock: upgrade when you want the whole thing.
If you already bought the half, upgrading to the full video means you only pay the difference — you're never charged twice. Photo sets work the same way: see the preview shots first, then unlock a mini set or the full set. Your first decision stays small, and you only spend more once you know you want it.
ASEC pricing compared: single unlock vs. creator subscription vs. ASEC Membership
| How you pay | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single unlock | That one video, photo set or album — yours to rewatch anytime | Casual viewers who just want one post |
| Creator subscription | That creator's subscriber content, billed monthly, quarterly or yearly; yearly usually saves you more | Fans who follow one creator and keep coming back |
| ASEC Membership (Basic) | The platform's own content: AI idol photos and videos plus platform AI videos, auto-played in your language | People who want to watch a lot, not just one person |
| ASEC Membership (VIP) | Everything in Basic, plus monthly bonus Hearts, free AI idol DM allowance, early access to new videos, priority in live interactions, and discounts on custom requests | Heavy fans who gift and DM every month |
Real creators' content still runs through her own subscription or single unlocks; ASEC Membership is your pass to the platform's own content. What you spend on single unlocks in a month can also be credited toward part of your first month's subscription, so buying one post to try her out never costs you extra if you subscribe later. The exact credit is shown at checkout.
Hearts: the website coin for gifts and tips
Want her to know you're there, or want to climb her tip leaderboard? Send Hearts. Hearts can only be used for gifts and tips — they can't be cashed out. Send enough and you'll earn titles, badges and entrance effects, and your messages get pinned to the top of her inbox so she sees you first.
Hearts only work on the website and are completely separate from the ASEC App.
Paid DMs and custom requests
- Paid DMs: locked content inside DMs is priced message by message by the creator herself; the platform only sets a reasonable range.
- Custom requests: want something made just for you? Pay a deposit up front and the balance when it's done.
How to pay, and where to find what you bought
- Sign up right at checkout: for your first purchase you only need an email to pay. The verification email can wait — once you've paid, you're dropped back into the same video and it plays.
- Your purchases stay yours: single unlocks and photo sets live in your library, ready whenever you come back.
- Cancel anytime: don't want to renew? Cancel under "Me" and you keep access until the paid period ends.
- Receipts on record: every payment and receipt is in your "Wallet". For billing questions, just email support with the order number.
What currency are prices in, and where do you see them?
On the website, TWD and USD prices are set separately — they are not converted from each other. At launch, payments open in TWD first. The real amount is whatever the post page, the ASEC Membership plans page and checkout show. If a plan price changes, it only applies to new orders; existing subscribers keep their original price.
Do creators have to pay?
No. Applying as a creator is free. Your revenue share is set in your contract, explained when you apply, with no hidden fees. Optional services that use computing power — translation and voice dubbing, editing help, AI twins — are priced separately and listed on the price sheet in Creator Studio; you only turn them on if you want them. Thinking of joining? Check out creator recruiting.
The website and the ASEC App are billed separately
The website is online video only. Services such as gaming and chatting are independently provided by creators and listed in the ASEC App. Accounts, balances and membership perks don't carry over between the two, and each is paid for on its own.

FAQ
Does ASEC cost money?
Signing up is free, and every paid post starts with a free preview. If you like it, unlock that post, subscribe to the creator, or get ASEC Membership.
Is a single unlock or a subscription better value?
If you only watch the occasional post, unlock it. If you follow the same creator regularly, subscribe. What you spend on single unlocks in a month can be credited toward part of your first month's subscription; the exact amount is shown at checkout.
Does ASEC Membership include real creators' content?
ASEC Membership covers the platform's own content (AI idol posts and platform AI videos). Real creators' content still goes through her own subscription or single unlocks.
Can I cash out Hearts?
No. Hearts are only for gifts and tips, and fans can't exchange them for cash. Gifts a creator receives are converted into earnings according to her contract.
Can I pay in US dollars?
TWD and USD prices are set separately and aren't converted. At launch, payments open in TWD first; USD will appear at checkout once it's switched on.
Do creators pay to join?
No, applying is free. Your revenue share is set in your contract, explained when you apply, with no hidden fees. Optional add-on services are priced separately and only switched on if you want them.
