Which should you pick?
Credit Packs vs Subscriptions
The deciding factor is how regularly you generate. Credit packs are one-time, valid 12 months, with no auto-renew — so unused credits are never lost to a billing reset. That fits bursty use: testing a concept, producing one campaign, or generating in occasional sprints.
Subscriptions deliver a larger monthly credit allotment that resets each cycle and does not roll over. They only make economic sense if you reliably consume most of the monthly allotment every month. The yearly plan adds roughly 50% off but commits 12 months upfront.
A simple rule: if you cannot confidently say you will use most of a monthly allotment every month, the Basic or Creator Pack is the lower-risk choice. You can always move to a subscription once your volume is predictable.
Pick a credit pack if
Usage is irregular or bursty · you want no auto-renew · you are testing before committing.
Pick a subscription if
You generate steady high volume every month · yearly upfront for ~50% off is acceptable.
