Aonic Launches Aonic Club, Designed to Drastically Lower the Cost of Everyday Products
PRESS RELEASE posted by Aonic Inc.
Americans are paying more for almost everything, and the most powerful technology of our time is not helping. Today, Aonic is changing that. Aonic, co-founded by Senada Greca and Max Meier, announces the launch of Aonic Club, giving members access to products at cost. Aonic’s mission is to drastically reduce the cost of living by changing how everyday goods are developed, produced, and sold, without compromising on quality.
Costs are rising across the board
Aonic Club was built to mitigate one of the biggest pain points Americans face in today’s economy: According to a September 2026 CNN poll 48% of Americans say AI is hurting their own finances. Just 18% say it's helping. A Marquette Law School national poll released in September 2026 found that inflation and the cost of living were rated as the public’s most important issue. Aonic’s goal is to leverage AI to lower the costs of goods people are already buying and put money back into consumers' pockets.
Markups are ever-increasing and a big part of the inflation crisis. Aonic will bring them to 0.
Aonic’s business model tackles the staggering gap between what products cost to make and what consumers pay, using AI to improve sourcing and operations, and the power of its community and the value of its products to reduce marketing spend. Traditional retail prices include markups for brokers, distributors, brands and retailers each adding to the final price.
And these markups are growing quickly. Aonic removes those layers by sourcing ingredients directly, controlling its formulas and production, and selling products online to members at cost. The company earns its profit from membership fees, allowing it to sell every product at cost, without a markup. Membership costs $99 the first year, $149 after - for the launch Aonic offers the membership at a reduced rate of $49 for founding members for the first year.
AI is rebuilding every industry but one
“Inflation is the main concern for Americans right now. Big companies have access to the most powerful technology of our lifetime, but they’re falling short when it comes to using it to help people pay less,” said Max Meier, Co-Founder and CEO of Aonic. “We are passionate about changing that. With a great team, a community that believes in what we’re building, and technology that helps us work more efficiently, we can offer the highest-quality products at drastically lower prices by cutting out the markups.”
Community is essential to Aonic Club’s growth, with members being involved in what new products Aonic creates and providing feedback on existing ones. Co-Founder Senada Greca, a global leader in fitness and wellness with more than 12 million followers across social media, brings an established community whose input will help shape the future of Aonic Club.
“One of the questions I get most from my community is which products are actually worth the money,” said Senada Greca, Co-Founder of Aonic. “People trust my recommendations, and I take that seriously. I helped build Aonic to make products I’d use myself, at prices people could afford every day. With Aonic Club, members pay what the products cost and vote on what we make next. We want to make what the people actually need.”
Aonic will not stop before markup-free shopping is available for every product
Protein and supplements are the first aisle, not the last. Aonic plans to bring the same model to groceries, beauty, personal care, pet food, and household essentials - attacking categories worth about $1.5 trillion a year, no later than 2027. Aonic strives to ensure that every new product costs at least 15% below Costco, and at least 40% below the leading brand.
The membership waitlist opens on October 13th at aoniclife.com.
