The rise of AI Mart, Sri Lanka’s first dedicated AI marketplace, is opening new doors for developers and innovators to turn their creations into profitable ventures. Designed as a one-stop platform for AI tools, products, and services, AI Mart provides a structured pathway for local talent to showcase their innovations and earn sustainable income.
Through AI Mart, developers can list their solutions—whether it’s a chatbot, business intelligence tool, health tech solution, or an education platform—and immediately tap into a nationwide audience. Monetisation is enabled through multiple models: subscription plans, credit-based usage, tiered pricing, and enterprise licensing. For instance, a developer can set a monthly subscription fee, while also offering pay-per-use services through AI Mart’s credit system, allowing customers to pay only for what they use.
📊 Example: Developer Monetisation Plan
Scenario:
You build an AI tool called SmartDocs AI that helps users analyze contracts and extract key clauses.
- Pricing Model: Subscription + Credit Usage
- Monthly Subscription: Rs. 500
- Additional Usage: 0.2 credits per extra query
Case 1 – Small User Base (100 Users)
- 100 users subscribe at Rs. 500 = Rs. 50,000/month
- Each user makes ~50 extra queries (0.2 credits each → 10 credits/user)
- If credits cost Rs. 200 per 100 credits, that’s Rs. 20/user in extra usage → Rs. 2,000 total
- Total Monthly Revenue = Rs. 52,000
- If AI Mart keeps 20% commission → Your Take-Home = Rs. 41,600
Case 2 – Growing User Base (1,000 Users)
- 1,000 users subscribe at Rs. 500 = Rs. 500,000/month
- Extra queries add Rs. 20,000/month
- Total = Rs. 520,000/month
- After 20% platform commission → Your Take-Home = Rs. 416,000/month
Case 3 – Large Scale (10,000 Users)
- 10,000 users subscribe at Rs. 500 = Rs. 5,000,000/month
- Extra queries add Rs. 200,000/month
- Total = Rs. 5.2 million/month
- After 20% commission → Your Take-Home = Rs. 4.16 million/month
