One site for everything
, and Yerk AI share one address and one account. Your work is not split across sites by content type.
The one-site alternative
Civitai alternative: Make the picture, skip the model hunt
Make pictures and video on one site, with one credit balance you can top up in crypto (XRP). No checkpoints, LoRAs or sampler settings stand between your idea and the first result.
Built to make things
Why people switch to Yerk
Yerk keeps the work together: pictures, video and Yerk AI on the same site, paid from the same balance, with models you can use right away.
One credit balance
The same credits pay for pictures, video and Yerk AI. There is one number to watch, not several currencies that cannot be swapped.
Pay with crypto
Buy credit packs with XRP from Get Credits. Payments are detected automatically, and there is no subscription.
No model hunting
Skip the checkpoints, LoRAs and sampler settings. Choose from a hand-picked set of models, and ask Yerk AI when you are unsure.
Video as well as stills
Turn a line of text or a finished picture into a clip of up to 30 seconds on supported models, with sound where supported.
Creative room, clearly bounded
Yerk supports broad creative work.
What changed
One place instead of two
In April 2026 Civitai split into two sites. Civitai.com now shows only PG content and takes cards, while the full catalog and crypto payments moved to civitai.red. Buzz bought with a card and Buzz bought with crypto remain separate currencies that cannot be exchanged.
Yerk.app has one site and one credit balance for pictures, video and Yerk AI, and you top it up with crypto. Its approach is creative freedom with clear limits: room for creative work. No generator can promise that every prompt will render.
