AI Credits — Pay-As-You-Go


AI effects are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Every time a guest applies an AI effect to a photo, it uses credits from your account. This way, you only pay for what you actually use.

  2. Choose your plan and billing cycle (monthly or yearly)
  3. You'll receive an email with all the instructions


Alternatively, download the app and try to register a device — you'll be guided through the purchase process.


You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. No contracts, no drama.



How to Choose


Ask yourself:


  • Do I use a lot of AI effects? → Go Pro for the 50% discount on AI credits
  • Do I want to create custom effects? → Go Pro for the Custom Effects Studio
  • Do I want my own branded gallery and website? → Go Pro
  • Am I just starting out and want to keep costs low? → Start with Basic, upgrade later
  • Do I run high-end events? → Pro pays for itself in one booking


Our recommendation: If you're running events for paying clients, go Pro. The AI credits discount alone saves you money on every event, and the custom branding, website builder, and custom effects are what set your booth apart from the competition.
