How Subscription Pricing Works

Simple concept: Pay upfront for a set amount of credits that you can use throughout your subscription period. Perfect for predictable usage patterns.

​
The Basics

  1. Choose your plan based on resolution needs and monthly credit requirements
  2. Select billing frequency - monthly or yearly (yearly saves 2 months)
  3. Pay upfront and receive all credits immediately
  4. Use credits anytime - credits never expire, even after subscription ends
  5. Auto-renewal ensures continuous access (can be cancelled anytime)

​
Key Benefits

✅ Credits upfront - Get all your credits immediately to use anytime

Need More Credits?

If you use more credits than your plan includes, you can purchase additional credit packs anytime.

​
Credit Packs

  • 1,000 credits per pack
  • $3.00 per pack ($0.003 per credit)
  • Instant delivery - credits added immediately to your account
  • No expiration - credits never expire, even after subscription ends

​
When to Buy Credit Packs

  • Seasonal spikes in usage
  • One-time projects requiring extra credits
  • Testing higher usage before upgrading plans
  • End-of-month credit shortfall
Tip: If you consistently need credit packs, consider upgrading to the next plan tier for better value.

Creator plan gives you 2x your needs with room to grow

​

  • Creator Plan: 10,000 credits + 25 credit packs = $10 + $75 = $85/month
  • Pro Plan: 50,000 credits for $49 - Better value
Pro plan saves $36/month and provides buffer for growth

​
Enterprise (200,000 credits/month)

  • Pro Plan: 50,000 + 150 credit packs = $49 + $450 = $499/month
  • Business Plan: 250,000 credits for $249 - Much better value
