- Free plan images are public and not licensed for commercial use
- Monthly credits expire each cycle, and costs per image vary by model (for example 2 credits for V4.1 and 10 for V4.1 Pro)
- Video generation is not available on Free or Basic plans
- Plan prices depend on credit tier, so cost rises quickly for heavy use
