FAQ
Straight answers about how Yubikiri works today.
Is Yubikiri free?
Yes. v1 is free for artists and clients. Optional paid features (like escrow) may come later — and we'll say so clearly before anything charges money.
Does Yubikiri hold my money?
Not yet. Right now Yubikiri manages the workflow and the paper trail — briefs, approvals, revisions, deadlines, and delivery. You still arrange payment however you already do (PayPal, Stripe, etc.).
Is this a marketplace like VGen?
No. There's no browsing directory of artists in v1. You create a commission room and send one invite link to your client. That keeps cold-start simple and puts trust first.
What happens to my art files?
WIP uploads are shown to clients as watermarked previews. Clean finals unlock when the commission completes. Files are stored securely for the commission — we don't sell or train on your work.
Can I use my own terms of service?
Yes. Your ToS lives on your artist profile and is snapshotted onto each commission when the client accepts. Changing your profile later won't rewrite an active agreement.
What if we need more revisions than planned?
The revision counter is visible to both sides. When included rounds run out, that's the signal to agree on a paid extra round outside (or later, inside) the tool — instead of silent scope creep.
How do public track records work?
Completed commissions feed your public page (/a/your-handle): completed count, on-time rate, average turnaround, and reviews. Those numbers come from real rooms — they can't be edited by hand.
How do I become a founding artist?
The first 100 artists who set up a public profile get a permanent Founding artist badge automatically. Join the waitlist so we can reach you, or just sign in and create your profile.
