Dont get confused, the time is runing and it cost you every sec
I have six months of experience with these tools on my local PC (with Stability Matrix), and I am taking my time to set up everything. My laptop has a 3060 Nvidia GPU, and while there are no issues, videos take time to process.
However, the MimicPC system is not about the generation of images or videos; it’s about time. From the moment you start the server, it costs you money.
When you want to create a new image or video or use any other tools, it takes time to fill in the details, tune settings, play around, and much more. You can't do this "offline"; the server needs to run for that, and it costs you money every second.
For example, just leaving your app open for 10 minutes without generating anything (pretending you're playing with all the settings) costs you $0.10 on medium hardware.
So, it depends on what you are really using and whether this deal is worth it for you.
This business model of MimicPC may survive for only a year; all of the apps are open-source, and everything is moving so fast.
Ultimately, it comes down to whether it's worth it for you to spend $50 for one year to create 100 images per month.
