Starter plan: $9 for 1,000 renders

New entry subscription between Free and Hobby: $9/month for 1,000 renders ($90/year). Built for blogs, social media schedules, and small automations that outgrow the free 50.
Every subscription is now cheaper per render than any credit pack – packs stay the no-commitment option, plans stay the better deal.
CLI + MCP server v0.2.0 published: render saved templates with --template / --var and named platform sizes via --preset.

2026-07-10 · v1.1

Free plan reworked: 50 renders/month with no watermark, full features, up to 2048×2048, all formats. The free tier is now genuinely usable in production.
Prepaid credit packs (pay as you go): 250/$5, 1,000/$15, 3,000/$39. Valid 12 months, consumed after plan credits, no subscription required.
Templates with {{placeholders}}: save HTML/CSS once, render from a simple form in the dashboard (no code needed) or via template_id + variables in the API.
Size presets: preset parameter renders one template at named platform sizes (og, instagram-story, youtube-thumbnail, ...).
Per-API-key usage stats and monthly limits – see who spends what and cap keys per team or project.
