Layer

Layer is a web-based AI operating system for creative teams, especially game studios and entertainment brands, that centralizes access to leading generative models and production workflows.

Key capabilities include:

• Multi-modal generation and editing for images, video, 3D, and audio, with tools to refine outputs for production use.
• Workflow automation (including a node-based workflow UI) to run repeatable, multi-step creative pipelines for UA, LiveOps, and IP content.
• Asset management and collaboration in a shared workspace, designed for teams producing high volumes of variations while maintaining creative control.
• Enterprise security and governance, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, plus SSO/SCIM, role-based access controls, and exportable audit logs.

Pricing: CConsumption-based via pooled Creative Units (CUs) with no seat fees and unlimited team members. Free plan includes 50 CUs (plus 250 CUs with a business email). Studio subscriptions start at $60/month for 1,000 CUs, scaling up based on volume across 2D images, video, 3D, and audio. Single-use CU packs are also available (for example, $40 for 500 CUs). Up to 10% of unused CUs roll over each billing cycle.

What makes it notable is its model-agnostic, single-platform approach for creative production, combined with pooled usage-based pricing and enterprise-grade controls for studios that need to scale content output without per-seat licensing.
