Corny vs self hosting: build it or use it.

Self hosting means running open image and video models yourself, usually in ComfyUI, on your own GPU or one rented by the hour. It gives you full control over models and settings, and full responsibility for them.

A good video setup needs a GPU with plenty of memory, tens of gigabytes of model files, a workflow that keeps a face consistent and time to tune it all. When a model updates, the work starts again.

Corny Studio is an adult AI video studio. You design a fictional adult woman trait by trait, accept her look, and from then on direct clips of her: you pick what she wears, how she is posed and where it happens from hundreds of cards, or write the shot as a sentence. Every take comes back as a clip with sound, up to ten seconds long, in portrait or wide, and it is yours to download, post or sell. The same engine is open to developers through an API.

Corny runs that whole stack for you and puts four cards in front of it. You pay per take instead of per GPU hour, and nothing bills while you are not rendering.

What you give up is control of the internals: you choose the character, the outfit, the pose, the place, the length and the shape, but not the model or its settings.

Self hosting costs GPU time, either your own card or one rented by the hour, plus the time to set up and maintain it.

Corny charges in credits and shows the price of a take before you render it. A longer, bigger or sharper take costs more. New accounts start with 50 credits. Plans add credits every month, from $24.90 for 1,000, and a bigger plan makes each credit cheaper.

Host it yourself if you enjoy building workflows, want to choose every model and setting, and have the GPU time to spare.

Use Corny if you want the clips, not the stack: a character that holds her face, a catalogue of scenes and a price per take.
