What Is Chorvix?
The plain explanation — what Chorvix is, what’s free, what the plugs are, what Setup does, and exactly what everything costs.
Chorvix is the free workspace at the center of everything our studio sells: one bench where your tools live together instead of scattered across a dozen separate apps and subscriptions. Chorvix itself costs nothing — forever. What you can buy are plugs: tools that slot into your bench and make it better at one job, like voice, 3D, music, or titles. This website runs on the same system — the plug catalog and its checkout are live on it right now — so the page you’re reading is the proof, not a promise.
What do I get free?
Chorvix itself. There is no paid tier of Chorvix and there never will be — the bench is free, forever, and so is a working set of tools for it:
- Free plugs — Upscayl (image upscaling), Postiz (social scheduling), Mixamo (character animation from Adobe), Rhubarb Lip Sync, and the ffmpeg benches under every media job. All $0, most of them open-source.
- The free tiers of the studio’s own tools — TombVox (voice), MeshForge (3D), ThemeVine (music), and TextForge (titles and typography) each have a Free tier that is already yours inside Chorvix.
You can run a real bench on the free set alone. The paid plugs exist for when a job outgrows it.
What are plugs?
A plug is a tool that connects to your Chorvix bench and makes it better at one job. The catalog sorts every plug into four honest kinds:
- Free plugs — free tools, listed above. $0 to you, $0 to us.
- Cut plugs — paid vendor tools (for example ElevenLabs for voice, Runway for video). You pay the vendor’s own published price — the house markup on a vendor price is $0, by rule — and where a program exists, the vendor pays us a cut out of their side.
- Connect-only plugs — paid vendor tools with no program we can honestly take a cut from today. They are listed because your whole working bench belongs in one place; we take nothing on them.
- House plugs — the studio’s own tools (TombVox, MeshForge, ThemeVine, TextForge) plus the two Chorvix services below, at fixed owner-approved prices.
Every plug in the catalog is on the Plug Catalog page, with its real price and who gets paid what.
What does Chorvix Setup do for me?
Setup is the done-for-you option. Chorvix is free and you can wire your own bench yourself — Setup exists for people who would rather start working than start wiring. For $29, once, the studio configures your Chorvix for you: your seats seated, your plugs connected, your bench arranged the way you work.
What happens after you pay:
- You check out at PayPal and come back here to a confirmation page with your reference — that page is your receipt, whether or not any email ever arrives.
- Your order lands on the studio’s desk flagged as a setup — a human step, by design. The studio starts your setup from the order.
- You sign in (or create your account) with the same email you checked out with, so the order matches your bench. That email is the only thing we need from you to begin.
Buy Chorvix Setup — $29 one-time
What does it cost, exactly?
- Chorvix: $0. Free forever — not a trial, not a teaser tier.
- Chorvix Setup: $29 one-time. The total at PayPal is $30.51 — the $29 plus a $1.51 processing-fee pass-through, shown before you pay, never after.
- ThemeVine Pro: $10 one-time. TextForge Pro: $6 one-time. Both live at checkout today.
- Vendor plugs: the vendor’s own price, the same as going direct — our markup is $0.
- Coming, not buyable today: Chorvix Care ($6/mo — the keep-it-working plan: seats and plugs checked on a schedule, breakages fixed by the studio) and the TombVox and MeshForge subscription tiers are priced and approved, but their checkouts are still being seated. When a tier can’t be bought yet, its page says so — we don’t walk you to a dead door.
Questions people actually ask
Is Chorvix a subscription?
No. Chorvix is free, and Setup is a one-time payment. Some individual
plugs are subscriptions — vendor tools bill on the vendor’s terms,
and a few house tiers will be monthly when their checkouts open — but
nothing about Chorvix itself ever bills you.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Wiring a bench is the fiddly part, and that is exactly what Setup
takes off your plate. If you are technical, you can wire
everything yourself for free — Setup is a convenience, never a
toll.
What do I need to start?
An email address. You don’t even need an account to buy Setup —
check out with the email you’ll sign in with, and your purchase
is matched to your bench when you do.
Does buying through your table cost me more?
No. On vendor plugs the price is the vendor’s own and our markup
is $0; on house plugs the price is the fixed approved figure on the
card. The total you’ll pay is shown before you pay it.
