What Creators Are Making
For the first time since launch, video output exceeded image output. Image-to-video (animating a photo) grew into the second-largest category overall — a signal that creators are using ZSky to bring their own photography to life, not just generate from scratch.
Top 10 Countries (Google Search Clicks)
ZSky traffic is dramatically global. The United States ranks third by clicks despite receiving the highest impressions (214,727) — meaning there is massive unmet search demand in the US that our average position of 8.2 hasn't captured yet.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | India | 7,579 | 24,648 | 6.2 |
| 2 | Pakistan | 2,324 | 5,537 | 3.7 |
| 3 | United States | 1,785 | 214,727 | 8.2 |
| 4 | Nigeria | 1,316 | 3,036 | 3.4 |

Safety & Reliability
Every prompt is scanned by a dedicated safety classifier before it reaches generation hardware. In April so far:
Tier Distribution
Based on a random sample of 1,000 profiles: 99.2% of ZSky creators use the free tier. This is by design — the platform is built to be free first, with paid tiers providing ad-free access, queue priority, and dedicated GPU access for professional workflows.
Methodology
Sources: ZSky AI production database (Supabase REST, service role, read‑only), Google Search Console (sc‑domain:zsky.ai), and nginx access logs for the reporting window.
Window: 2026‑04‑01 00:00 UTC through 2026‑04‑14 23:59 UTC. This report will be finalized with the full 30‑day window on May 1, 2026.
Aggregation: All counts are integer row counts with no estimation. Daily breakdowns use created_at timestamps. Modality breakdown collapses internal job kinds (e.g. video_av, video_sd) into four human‑readable buckets. Tier distribution is from a random 1,000‑row sample.
Privacy: No individual user data is published. All figures are aggregate. Creator emails and prompts never leave our infrastructure; only counts appear in this report.
