Use tool ↗About PromptBase
PromptBase is a marketplace where people list prompts for image, text and video models, with buyers paying a few dollars per prompt or subscribing for bulk access to the catalog. Sellers connect Stripe, upload a prompt with sample output, and the platform takes a commission on marketplace traffic while sales through a seller's own referral link are commission-free. A hire-a-prompt-engineer board runs alongside the listings.

Pros & cons of PromptBase
Worth a look if you want a shortcut to a specific visual style and would rather not reverse-engineer it, or if you have a genuinely repeatable prompt to monetize. As a buyer you are paying for text whose output shifts every time the underlying model updates, so treat prompts as perishable rather than as assets.
Pros
- Unit prices are low, typically single-digit dollars per prompt
- 0% commission on your own referral-link sales versus 20% on marketplace traffic
- Covers a broad model spread including image, text and video systems
- Stripe payouts rather than money trapped in an internal wallet
Cons
- Prompt quality is largely unvetted and results drift as models update
- Preview images are seller-supplied and not independently reproduced
- No public API found, so nothing here slots into an automated pipeline
- The Select subscription only pays off at genuinely high prompt volume
Best for
- Designers hunting a consistent house style across a batch of images
- Prompt sellers with an audience who want checkout and payouts handled for them
- Studying how other people structure prompts for a specific model
Not for
- Production systems that need version-pinned, tested prompts
- Models whose behavior has changed since the listing was published
Watch out: A prompt is tied to a model version, and one vendor model update can make a purchased prompt produce something entirely different with no maintenance obligation on the seller.
