Last month, I had a conversation with a marketing director at a major home goods retailer that stuck with me. "Rob," she said, "we've got 127,000 product images sitting on our site with no alt text. Our accessibility audit came back... let's just say it wasn't pretty."

Sound familiar? If you're managing content for a large brand, agency, or platform, you've probably hit this wall. Manual alt text feels like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

The real bottleneck most teams face

Here's what I hear almost daily: "We just don't have the bandwidth to add alt text to thousands of images." Or my personal favorite: "We have 12,000 customers who need automated alt text for compliance, but we can't build it in-house."

The thing is, large content libraries turn image tagging into a resource black hole. I've watched growing brands slow their content velocity because someone has to manually describe every hero shot, product angle, and lifestyle image. It's not sustainable.

So what kind of volume are we talking about?

When enterprise customers ask about processing capacity, the numbers usually surprise them. We regularly handle accounts processing 10,000+ images monthly. One of our largest implementations handled 291,000 images in total—that would've taken a team months to do manually.

Speed matters too. Most images appear in your library within seconds, not minutes. And if you're pushing consistent volume, we can tune response times even further. One agency told me our processing speed cut their project timelines in half.

The economics actually work

Let's talk money, because that's what your CFO cares about. Our Platinum plan runs $229/month for 10,000 credits, or you can grab the annual deal at $2,199 for 120,000 credits upfront. Math-wise, that's about $0.02 per image at scale.

But here's where it gets interesting for enterprise accounts. We offer custom packages that can drop your cost to $0.009 per credit. Plus, you can pool credits across multiple domains—perfect if you're an agency juggling clients or a brand managing regional sites.

Want the real flexibility? With yearly plans, you get all credits upfront. Burn through 50,000 in January if that's what your launch needs. Need more? Bulk credit packs come with volume discounts.

Honestly, when I show these numbers to procurement teams, they usually ask why we didn't lead with pricing.

Performance that keeps up with your pace

We can process thousands of images per hour, which makes us a good fit for:

• Ecommerce brands with seasonal inventory swaps
• Publishers cranking out daily content
• Agencies managing multiple client sites simultaneously

There's no daily cap on generation limits either. Need to process 50,000 images for a site migration? Upload in batches or hit our API. We've handled launch days that would break most manual workflows.

Making automation work for your team

The real magic happens in the workflow automation. You can upload entire folders and regenerate alt text at scale—no clicking through individual images. Smart rules let you exclude logos, hero banners, or decorative elements that shouldn't have descriptive alt text anyway.

Brand consistency matters too. We'll adjust tone, language, and structure based on your guidelines. A luxury brand needs different copy than a hardware store, and our prompts can reflect that.

Integration-wise, we connect with the platforms you're already using: WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Contentful, DatoCMS, Hygraph, and Cloudinary. Plus API access for custom builds and our Chrome/Firefox extensions for quick manual work.

API power for custom workflows

Our API lets you automatically generate alt text when images get uploaded, sync with your asset management system, or deploy Instant Alt through a simple HTML snippet (no dev work required).

This is where things get interesting for platform plays. Take one of our enterprise clients—a global commerce platform powering over 13,000 individual shops. They use a custom Tier 5+ package with 2,500+ credits per store. Their customers can instantly apply optimized alt text through a universal HTML snippet.

Here's the clever part: they've built affiliate tracking and revenue sharing into the model. So they're monetizing accessibility compliance while giving their users an immediate SEO boost. It incentivizes customer adoption and generates additional revenue. Win-win.

The stuff that keeps legal happy

Credits aren't tied to single domains, so you can share across multiple websites—perfect for agencies and multi-brand companies. We handle data encryption, access controls, regular audits, and two-factor authentication. If you need additional security documentation, we can provide it.

On the compliance side, we differentiate between decorative and illustrative images, applying empty alt attributes where needed to meet European Accessibility Act requirements. Our enterprise clients get dedicated 24/7 support, and we can customize workflows to match your specific needs.
