CONVERSION FUNNEL

From Free Tool to Full Platform

Each step delivers value. The upgrade is obvious, not forced.

Visit page — see before/after examples (SEO / social / ads) 100%
Enter email to start (required — prevents bot abuse) ~40%
Verify email (magic link or 6-digit code) ~30%
Drag & drop image → see 3 AI-enhanced variants ~25%
Download free (up to 5 per verified email) ~20%
Connect Shopify → enhance whole catalog ~5%
See other agents → full platform ~2%

Email verification before generation prevents spam bots from burning API credits (~$0.01/image via Gemini). Rate limited by verified identity, not just IP.
