- Monthly prices remain USD 29/97/499. Billing help now documents 20/40/100 connected accounts and 200/1,000/3,000 simultaneously queued posts. All plans schedule up to nine months ahead. Annual plans are offered, but exact annual totals were not verified.
- The seven-day trial has 60 AI credits and excludes API access. Generating an API key immediately ends the trial and begins paid subscription billing, even if trial days remain.
- Credit use depends on model, duration and audio. Published examples list GPT-image-1 at 25 credits per image and Veo 3.1 Fast at 35 credits per second without audio or 50 with audio; verify the selectable settings and displayed job cost.
- The credit help page says AI voiceovers do not consume generation credits, while the pricing FAQ includes voice in its credit-usage description. Confirm the current in-app treatment for voice-heavy work.
- Unlimited AI-writing wording does not mean unlimited image or video generation. Include successful regenerations and editing time when calculating cost per accepted asset.
