How Usage Works
Usage is based on generation activity, not time spent in the app. Each generation you create counts toward your monthly allowance.What Counts as Usage
The following activities consume your usage allowance:- Character images — Generating new character portraits
- Location images — Generating new location visuals
- First frames — Generating still images for shots
- Videos — Generating video clips from first frames
What Doesn’t Count as Usage
The following activities are free and don’t affect your usage:- Browsing — Viewing your projects, characters, locations, and shots
- Organizing — Creating projects, scenes, and structuring your workflow
- Preparing assets — Writing descriptions, adjusting settings, and planning shots
- Failed generations — If a generation fails (including content filter failures), it won’t count against your allowance
Only successful generations count toward your usage. You won’t be charged for failed attempts or system errors.
Subscription Plans
Each subscription includes a monthly generation allowance that scales with the plan. Higher tiers are designed to support more exploratory and long-form workflows.| Plan | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Microbudget | $10/month | Testing the platform and smaller projects |
| Independent | $25/month | Active projects with regular generation needs |
| Hollywood | $50/month | High-volume workflows and feature-length projects |
There is currently no unlimited plan. If you find yourself consistently reaching your usage limit, consider upgrading to a higher tier for additional allowance.
Upgrading Your Plan
You can upgrade your subscription at any time. Upgrades are prorated automatically—you’ll only be charged for the remaining time in your billing cycle and will receive additional usage for the rest of the month. To upgrade:- Visit your account settings or the subscriptions page
- Select your desired plan
- Confirm the upgrade
Downgrading Your Plan
Downgrades are not prorated and take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You’ll retain full access to your current plan’s features and allowance until then. To downgrade:- Visit your account settings or the subscriptions page
- Select a lower-tier plan
- Confirm the downgrade
Tips for Managing Usage
- Plan before you generate — Write detailed descriptions and prepare your assets before generating to get better results on the first try
- Use the right model — Choosing appropriate models (see Models guide) can help you achieve desired results with fewer regenerations
- Save successful generations — Once you create a character or location you like, save it and reuse it across scenes
- Apply aesthetics — Using consistent aesthetics helps maintain visual coherence, reducing the need for regeneration
