Free forever — real credits, real tools, no card, no trial. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
"Free" here means a working account rather than a demo: new accounts start with free credits, and those credits spend on the same generation pipeline paid accounts use. There is no watermark on free output and no expiring trial clock running in the background.
Generation costs credits because every image and video runs on paid GPU capacity, so the limit you eventually hit is volume, not features. Paid plans buy a larger monthly credit balance and access to the more expensive models — they do not unlock ownership, remove watermarks, or switch off a nag screen, because none of those exist on Free.
