How the math works

The traditional pipeline aggregates a daily studio rate, a model day rate, a photographer day rate (all multiplied by the number of days needed at your stated output rate), plus a per-image retouching cost. The Apiway pipeline multiplies image count by your chosen credit cost per image at the fixed 1¢-per-credit rate. The output is a side-by-side comparison and a percent savings figure.
