B.inomen runs on servers I pay for. Every identification is billed by the second, and some costs come every month whether ten people use the app or ten thousand: the firewall that keeps bots and scanners from running up the bill, storage for the model and for 50,000 species with their photos and descriptions, and the binomen.app domain.
There are no ads and no data to sell, so the bills come out of my own pocket — and from anyone who chips in. Everything in the app stays free either way.
Payments are made on PayPal, under PayPal’s terms; I never see card or bank details. PayPal shows me the name and email address on your PayPal account, and B.inomen itself records nothing about the payment. See the terms.
Thank you.
