How we keep costs under control

  • Free users get the API and fast models — capped at a few renders per day.
  • Paid plans buy a monthly render quota. The real upgrade is model quality (Sonnet → Opus), not endless renders.
  • Later: optional Bring-Your-Own OpenRouter key so heavy users cover their own LLM bill (you still meter renders).
