Frequently Asked Questions
Is this platform really free?
Yes! CreatorPilot does not charge any monthly software fee. You bring your own API key directly from Google AI Studio (which has a generous free tier for Gemini 2.5 Flash), OpenAI, Anthropic, or xAI. You never pay a middleman subscription fee.
How are my API keys protected?
Your keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption. The encryption key is kept strictly outside the web root in the system config. Saved keys are masked in the UI and never printed in logs or sent to browser scripts.
Can I host CreatorPilot on free hosting like InfinityFree or cPanel?
Yes! CreatorPilot was architected specifically with Free Hosting Mode. It supports both MySQL and SQLite, provides a secure Web-cron endpoint (triggerable by cron-job.org without SSH), and runs on standard PHP 8.2+ without requiring Node.js.
