How subscriptions, access, and upgrades actually work.
This page exists to remove ambiguity. The platform model is simpler once you separate the shared core catalog, plan capacity, and optional premium creator access.
Core access
founding creator catalog
Unlocked by all paid tiers
Starter Credits
500
Entry tier — credits are usage units and model costs vary by workflow
Standard Credits
1,500
More capacity without changing the included launch set
Pro Credits
4,000
Highest self-service capacity for teams and agencies
Upgrade Effect
Immediate
Plan upgrades are intended to affect live access right away
Lifecycle
The simplest way to understand the billing model.
Subscribe to the platform tier
A paid core plan unlocks the shared founding creator catalog and gives you a usage allowance tied to that tier.
Generate keys or use the playground
Once access is active, the account workspace and playground operate against the same live access model.
Upgrade when capacity or support needs change
Moving from Standard to Pro changes monthly capacity and support level across the same shared core access.
Add specialist creator systems only when needed
Creator add-ons extend access beyond the shared core catalog without changing how the platform itself works.
What Changes and What Does Not
This is the part that most customers want clarified.
Changes on upgrade
Usage, support, analytics, and operating headroom
Upgrades are about platform capacity and commercial service level. They should improve what you can do across the full included core catalog.
Does not change on upgrade
The included launch roster
Starter, Standard, and Pro all cover the same founding creator catalog. The goal is to avoid making customers rebuy inclusion when they only need more capacity.
Shared access model
Keys and playground access point back to live subscription state
The platform checks current access when you generate, rather than assuming access based on a one-time file handoff.
Add-on path
specialist creator systems stay optional
Creator-side premium access extends the catalog without replacing the base platform plan or its usage model.
Billing Questions
Detailed answers to the questions most likely to block conversion or support.
If I subscribe to Starter, do I get access to the launch systems?
If I upgrade to Pro, does the upgrade apply to the founding creator catalog?
Do specialist creator systems come with their own extra call buckets?
What happens when I cancel?
Why does the platform use subscriptions instead of one-time file purchases?
Need a Human
If the rule is still unclear, talk to support or sales directly.
Billing and access questions can block trust quickly. Use the direct route instead of leaving that ambiguity in place.
