What is AEV?

1 Product = 5 Features

Each AEV tool is tightly scoped to solve one specific problem—efficiently and beautifully.

Limiting each product to five features forces clarity in design and prevents “just one more” feature creep.

It also makes your life easier: less to learn, less to manage, and no long onboarding series.

Lifetime Deal vs SaaS

I still remember saving up for Final Cut Studio in 2006. It was a big purchase. But it gave me full ownership over the tool and I used it for nearly a decade.

That shaped how I think about tools. AEV products are one-time purchases that prioritize value, not lock-in.

From my own prior experience, I’ve bought LTD products I didn’t immediately need—just to support another creator. Later, I found interesting ways to use them and a handful have become staples in my workflow.

For you, that means no subscriptions and no surprises. Just useful software, priced with creators in mind.

Price Structure

AEV products are priced to be accessible, but not cheap. I want to reward early adopters and still make things sustainable on my end.

Prices will rise over time based on product milestones—either user count or new development features. But if you’ve purchased from AEV before, you’ll always get first access and the best price. Watch your inbox for those offers.

Right now, at launch. The price will increase to $199 after 250 purchases and ultimately settle at $249 once the dev cycle is complete. Right now, Video Vibe is available for $149. The price will rise to $199 after 250 purchases and will eventually settle at $249 after the final development milestone.

Thin Shell Apps

AEV apps don’t reinvent the wheel—they deliver enterprise-grade tech (Mux, S3, AI agents) through beautiful, branded, intuitive interfaces built for creators.

Most of the best tech is locked behind APIs—usually out of reach unless you hire a dev or agency. AEV unlocks that for creators through elegant UI. You get the power of the pros without the complexity or cost.

Shared Infrastructure For All Apps

I’ve built a scalable foundation that can support every app I launch. Managed hosting, design systems, and DevOps means I spend less time redoing the basics—and more time solving real problems.

Thanks to tools like Cory Zue's SaaS Pegasus, the back end is battle-tested and efficient and capable of handling the needs of each product without reinventing the wheel every time I build something new.

Seamless Product Integrations

Each AEV product works on its own—but when you use more than one, they sync up intelligently. Connected services are reused, setup steps are skipped, and workflows feel frictionless.

Why 2–4 Releases a Year?

Deep work needs breathing room. Shipping a product every 3–6 months lets me go all-in, launch it right, market it appropriately, support it thoroughly, and then rest and recharge before building again.

Each release is a sprint toward quality, not simply a rush to ship. The support inbox always stays open but I try my best to build all the support right into using the apps your purchase.

That cadence ensures the tools are high-quality and that I’m not half-present. You get a product built at full focus—and supported with the same energy.
