Meet Carlos Mendez

Curious Professional exploring AI tools

Carlos keeps hearing about AI tools but is overwhelmed by the options. ChatGPT subscriptions, Jasper, Copy.ai — they all want monthly commitments. He just wants to try things without a subscription. Sotally's pay-per-use model is exactly what Carlos needed. Sign up, get 50 free credits, browse 50+ tools, try the ones that look useful. No commitment, no subscription, no wasted money on tools he doesn't use.
"Finally, an AI tool platform where I pay for what I use. No more $20/month subscriptions for tools I use twice."

Welcome to Sotally — the marketplace where you access AI-powered software tools without subscriptions. Pay only for what you use with credits. This guide walks you through everything: from your first tool run to building and selling your own tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sotally free?

You get 50 free credits on signup (enough to try 5-15 tools). After that, you can buy credit packages starting at $5. There are no subscriptions or monthly fees — buy credits when you need them, they never expire.

Do I need technical skills?

No. Running tools requires zero technical knowledge — just fill in a form and click Run. Creating tools uses a no-code builder with step-by-step guidance.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose chatbot. Sotally has purpose-built tools optimized for specific tasks — with structured inputs, formatted outputs, and integrations to services like GitHub, Slack, and Notion. Think of it as an app store for AI tools vs. a single chatbot.
