Plans, monthly credit installments, unlimited eligibility, private media and account billing.
Plans and billing
Subscriptions and one-time credit packs use the same credit balance. Each generation is quoted from its model, duration, resolution and reference settings before submission.
Yearly billing is one annual payment with 12 monthly credit installments. Subscription credits expire at the next monthly anniversary and do not roll over.
Samples and welcome credits
Visitors can play prerecorded examples without signing in. Generating a new image or video requires an account and sufficient credits or an eligible unlimited allowance.
Verified new accounts may claim up to 5 welcome credits after a fresh human verification while the reward budget is available. The credits expire after 7 days. They can cover a low-cost image; they do not promise a free video.
Your private library
Uploads and generated outputs are private to your account. Temporary signed links allow the generation service to read your references.
Storage limits are shown by the upload service. Default limits are 100 MiB for free accounts and 5 GiB for paid accounts. Failed archival is retried without charging for generation again.
