Pricing FAQs

Common questions about pricing, credits, and payments

What's the difference between Credit Packs and Subscriptions?

Credit Packs are one-time purchases with credits that expire after a set period (30/90/365 days). They're great if you need credits occasionally.

Subscriptions (Monthly/Yearly) give you credits every month that reset on the 1st. Unused credits don't carry over, but you get better pricing (save 20-40%). You can cancel anytime.

Example: Starter Pack ($16.90) gives 300 credits for 30 days. Starter Monthly ($13.50/mo) gives 300 credits every month, and unused credits expire monthly.

How many characters can I generate with my credits?

All features cost 4 credits each:

  • Basic characters: 4 credits each
  • Complete design sheets: 4 credits each
  • Outfit variations: 4 credits each

What each plan gets you:

Starter (300 credits): at least 75 characters, or 75 design sheets, or mix: 20 characters (80 credits) + 15 design sheets (60 credits) + 35 outfits (140 credits) = 280 credits.

Standard (800 credits): at least 200 characters, or 200 design sheets, or mix: 40 characters + 30 design sheets + 80 outfits.

Premium (2,000 credits): at least 500 characters, or 500 design sheets, or mix: 50+ characters with multiple variations each.

Do unused credits carry over to the next month?

No, for subscriptions: Monthly and annual subscriptions reset on the 1st of each month. Any unused credits expire.

Yes, for credit packs: One-time credit packs are valid for their full validity period (30/90/365 days). Use them anytime within that window.

Tip: If you don't use credits consistently every month, credit packs might be better value!

Can I buy extra credits if I run out?

Yes! You can purchase additional credit packs anytime:

  • Starter Pack (300 credits) - $16.90
  • Standard Pack (800 credits) - $45
  • Premium Pack (2,000 credits) - $112.50

For subscribers: You can also upgrade your plan mid-cycle. We'll calculate the pro-rated difference and give you credits immediately.

Example: Upgrade from Starter ($13.50/mo) to Standard ($36/mo) on day 15 → pay the pro-rated difference and get extra credits right away.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime with no penalties:

  1. Your subscription continues until the end of your current billing cycle
  2. You can still use remaining credits during this period
  3. On renewal date, you won't be charged
  4. After expiration, you'll revert to the Free tier (10 one-time credits)

Your characters are safe: All generated characters remain in your library forever, even after cancellation.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 7 days with conditions:

  • Subscriptions: Full refund if you cancel within 7 days of first purchase AND haven't used credits
  • Credit packs: Full refund within 7 days if credits are unused
  • Partial use: No refunds if you've already consumed credits

How to request: Email support@charactergen.app with your order number.

Processing time: Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days.

Which plans include commercial usage rights?

  • Games, animations, comics
