Plans control feature access

Your current workspace plan determines feature availability, usage limits, and included credits. The pricing page and Billing screen are the current source of truth for plan names, limits, and prices. REST API access is available on Pro and Agency. MCP access is available on Agency.

Credits pay for generation work

  • Image generation, copy generation, AI edits, translations, and some AI-assisted product workflows can spend credits.
  • Tartol shows the applicable cost before a confirmed generation action.
  • Background processing does not mean the same job should be started again.
  • Team credit limits can help owners control member usage where supported.

When a trial or subscription ends

Unavailable features become locked according to current plan rules. Existing API keys and OAuth connections cannot bypass plan loss; each request rechecks current eligibility. Upgrade from Billing when you are ready to restore paid access. A fully discounted subscription with a zero-dollar renewal invoice remains active while Stripe finalizes that invoice; it is not treated as unpaid during the renewal webhook sequence.
