How a Startup Cut Design Costs by 60% Using Our AI Subscription Design Studio

In today’s competitive market, startups need to move fast while keeping costs under control. One of our recent clients, an early-stage SaaS company (name anonymized for privacy), faced the same challenge—scaling their marketing and product design without draining their budget.

They found their solution in Design Delulu’s AI Subscription Design Studio.


The Challenge

Before working with us, the startup relied on traditional design agencies and freelancers. The process was slow, expensive, and inconsistent.

  • Average monthly design spend: $12,000
  • Turnaround time per project: 1–2 weeks
  • Pain points: Missed deadlines, inconsistent branding, difficulty managing multiple vendors

  • Our AI Subscription Solution

    We provided the startup with an unlimited request subscription model backed by AI-powered design tools and human oversight. This meant:

  • A flat monthly fee covering unlimited design requests
  • AI-driven speed for initial drafts, refined by expert designers
  • Centralized communication and streamlined workflows

  • The Results

    Within the first 3 months, the startup saw measurable results:

  • 60% cost reduction — Monthly design costs dropped from $12,000 to $4,800
  • 50% faster delivery — Average project turnaround went from 10 days to 5 days
  • Consistent branding — All assets matched their visual identity across platforms
  • Increased output — Able to launch 3x more marketing campaigns per month

  • Why It Worked

    Our AI Subscription Design Studio blends the efficiency of AI-generated concepts with the creative polish of human designers. By eliminating hourly billing and project-based pricing, startups can request as much work as they need without worrying about scope creep or surprise invoices.


    Key Takeaways for Startups

  • Predictable Costs: A flat fee eliminates budget surprises.
  • Faster Time-to-Market: Get campaigns and product updates out in days, not weeks.
