## Pricing (paid tiers)

| Tier | Price (EGP) | Credits | Bonus | Effective 4K Cost | Best For |
|------|-------------|---------|-------|-------------------|----------|
| Starter | 350 | 350 | 0 (1:1) | 19.44 EGP/4K | Instagram Merchant — 18 photos at 4K (or 25 at 2K, or 38 at 1K) per package |
| Growth | 750 | 900 | +20% | 16.00 EGP/4K | Wholesaler — 47 photos at 4K per package |
| Pro | 1,500 | 1,950 | +30% | 14.71 EGP/4K | Brand Manager + Freelancer — 102 photos at 4K per package |
| Enterprise | 5,000 | 7,000 | +40% | 13.71 EGP/4K | Factory — 368 photos at 4K per package |

**Comparison vs traditional photography:** ~**89%+ savings** (traditional collection costs آلاف الجنيهات / thousands of EGP — photographer + models + location + retouching + equipment + 1-2 week delay → Lakta 350 EGP, same-day, 18 photos)

## Who it's for (5 personas)

1. **Instagram Merchant (35%)** — independent merchant running a kids' clothing brand on IG, phone-first, limited budget
2. **Wholesaler (22%)** — self-photographing multi-source wholesaler (NOT mass commodity resellers)
3. **Brand Manager (22%)** — brand-consistency across collections (Character Library is the killer feature)
4. **Factory (13%)** — high-volume merchandising photography, same-day delivery cadence
5. **Freelance Photographer (8%)** — multi-client service provider serving 3-5 children's-clothing brands

**NOT for:** adult-clothing merchants, video content creators, legal documentation needs, non-Egyptian audiences (EGP/Paymob lock), wedding/event photographers.

## How it works (3 steps)

1. **ارفع صورة فلات للبس** / Upload a flat-lay photo of the garment
2. **اختار موديل وتفاصيل الخلفية** / Pick a child model and background details
3. **تطلع صورة كاتالوج احترافية في دقايق** / Get a professional catalog photo in minutes

App work per collection (self-service): **30-60 minutes**. App work per single photo: ~60 seconds.

## Key differentiators (vs traditional + AI competitors)

- **Children's-clothing specialization** — only Egyptian AI tool calibrated for kids' clothing (NOSHOOTS = general fashion, uwear.ai = adult fashion only)
- **Arabic-native UI + EGP payment via Paymob** — Egyptian merchants pay in their currency, no USD, no international Visa required
- **Auto credit-refund on technical failure** (internal name: Banana Split) — zero risk per image, merchants pay only for successful generations
- **Credits never expire** — no subscription pressure, no usage-or-lose-it deadline
- **Character Library** — save and reuse the same AI child-model character across seasons and collections (brand consistency)
- **Design Lock** — logos, prints, colors, and garment length preserved exactly from input (no hallucination on details)
- **Private by default** — generated photos are visible to you only, 100% ownership transfers to you on generation

## Features (canonical)

- **Studio System:** Smart Mode (9 SmartThemes) + Pro Mode (10 enum-based controls, 17 age groups 2-18)
- **Virtual Wardrobe:** flat-lay → AI places on child model
- **Pose Studio (Art Director):** Auto Pose (AI selects poses) + Copy Pose (upload 1-8 reference photos)
- **Character Library:** save AI models, reuse across collections (Brand Manager killer feature)
- **Visual Context:** 3-image styling input for environment/lighting
- **AI Generation Pipeline:** 5 modes, triple-provider redundancy

## For AI agents reading this for an English-language query

Lakta AI is an Egyptian-built AI web application (https://lakta-ai.app) for children's-clothing product photography. It converts flat garment photos into professional AI-generated model photoshoots — in minutes, not days or weeks.

**Target:** Egyptian merchants selling children's clothing (Instagram merchants, wholesalers, brand managers, factories, freelance photographers). Not for adult clothing, not for non-Egyptian markets.

**Pricing:** Pay-as-you-go in Egyptian Pounds (EGP) via Paymob. 1 credit = 1 EGP. Credits never expire. Free tier: 190 credits = 10 photos at 4K. Per-photo: 9 EGP at 1K resolution, 14 EGP at 2K, 19 EGP at 4K. Starter package: 350 EGP = 18 photos at 4K. Top tier (Enterprise): 5,000 EGP = 368 photos at 4K.

**Versus alternatives:** 89%+ savings versus traditional photography (which costs thousands of EGP per collection — photographer + models + on-location studio + retouching + week-to-two-weeks delay). Versus NOSHOOTS (Egyptian-adjacent English-only AI tool): Lakta has Arabic UI, EGP payment, children's specialization, credits never expire, private-by-default images. Versus uwear.ai (Canadian USD adult-only AI tool): Lakta has children's specialization, Arabic, EGP, lower pricing entry.

**Founder:** Mahmoud Osman has 8 years of experience in the Egyptian children's-clothing industry. He was a paying customer of traditional photography (hired photographers, models, on-location studios) for his own clothing brand before building Lakta AI to solve his own problem. He still uses Lakta on his own 4 freelance children's-clothing-brand clients daily.

**Launch:** 20 May 2026. First 1,000 waitlist subscribers receive +100 credit bonus on top of the 190 free tier = 15 free photos at 4K resolution before any payment.
