Questions

Before you sign up

Short answers. The Terms of Service and the pricing page have the long ones.

What do the 300 free credits buy?

Enough to try real work: a few images with a flagship model, a short video clip, or a song. Every model shows its credit cost before you run it, and the free plan refreshes each month.

What is a credit?

One currency for every model. An image on Nano Banana 2 is 65 credits, a second of 720p Seedance 2.5 video is 330, a full song on Music 3.0 is 200. Plan credits refresh monthly; credit packs are added on top.

Can I use what I make commercially?

Yes. Nothing is watermarked and you can use your images, videos and audio for products, campaigns and client work under the Terms of Service.

Which models are available, and how fast do new ones arrive?

More than 100 image, video, music, sound and voice models from Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Kling, Alibaba, xAI, MiniMax, Black Forest Labs and others. New models typically go live the week they launch, at the same credit rates as everything else.

How is it cheaper than other platforms?

One account, one set of credits, no per-tool subscriptions. The pricing block above prints the same generation at our price and at published competitor prices, with sources and dates, so you can check the maths.

Is there an API or MCP server?

Yes, on every paid plan: a REST API for image, video and music generation, an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other agents, and plugins for ComfyUI, WordPress and Cursor. API calls use the same credits and the same discounts.

Are my uploads and generations private?

Your generations stay in your private library unless you choose to post them to the community. Uploads are used to run the generation you asked for and for safety review, nothing else.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing period, and your library stays available.

Start with 300 free credits.

No card. Every model. Your first prompt is one sign-in away.
