What it is
Budget custom book-cover design service with in-house designers and fixed package prices from US$10. Aimed at indie authors who want a designed ebook or print wrap without hiring a freelance cover artist for hundreds of dollars. You fill a brief, get a cover in a few days depending on package, and can request revisions until you are happy — or claim the money-back guarantee before approval. Honest caveat: you get a licence to use the design, and lower tiers use fewer licensed assets; competitive fiction series often still benefit from a specialist cover designer once budget allows. Complements DIY tools like Canva and BookBrush rather than replacing them for every marketing graphic.
Pricing model
Paid — Fixed packages (checked Oct 2026): Basic US$10 ebook cover; Standard US$20 ebook + print-ready wrap; Premium US$35 ebook + print-ready + source file (flattened PSD with editable text). Unlimited free revisions before completion; 100% money-back if not satisfied (void after you approve). Licensed images/fonts; licence details document provided. Extra services (back/spine, rush, marketing bundle) priced at checkout.. Always confirm on the vendor site before buying; plans change.
