Three numbers, and vendors print one. Which one?

Whichever flatters the plan. A generous credit balance appears when the daily cap is tight; a high cap appears when credits are short; queue behaviour is described in adjectives when both are modest. The check is simply whether all three are present.

Does it matter which model a service runs?

For output, enormously. For a documentation check, what matters is whether the service names it at all. A vendor that publishes its model line-up has committed to something a buyer can verify; one that calls it proprietary has reserved the right to change the product without telling anyone.

What does a good retention paragraph look like?

A period in days or months, a statement about whether generations are used for training, and a deletion route described as deletion rather than as closing the account. Three sentences. It is striking how rarely all three appear.

Are image-generator limits published?

Three numbers decide what a plan is worth — a daily cap, a credit balance and a queue. Most pricing pages in this category print one of them.

The question

Stills are the cheap end of this category and the place most work actually happens, which makes the subscription maths unusually simple: how many usable images per month, at what wait, for what money. Simple, and obstructed by pricing pages that publish a single flattering figure.

What we checked

Pricing page

Are the limits stated in units a buyer can count?

Satisfied by

Clip length in seconds, resolution in pixels, generations per day as a number, queue priority described in words that mean something.

Usually found

A credit balance with no stated conversion, and the word unlimited somewhere above a fair-use clause that contradicts it.

At stake

This is the difference between a subscription that finishes work and one that runs out on a Tuesday.
Privacy policy

How long are prompts and generations kept, and can they be deleted?

Satisfied by

A retention period in days or months, a deletion route that removes rather than flags, and a plain statement about training use.

Usually found

No period at all, deletion described as account closure, and training use addressed in a sentence that could mean either thing.

At stake

Prompts in this category are the most sensitive record a consumer service can hold. Indefinite retention turns one breach into a permanent problem.
Terms of service

Who holds rights in what the tool produces?

Satisfied by

An explicit grant of output rights to the user, and a narrow, stated licence back to the vendor for operating the service.

Usually found

Silence about the user's rights and a broad perpetual licence to the vendor covering promotion and model training.

At stake

Publishing anything made with the tool depends entirely on this paragraph, and it is never on the pricing page.
Support channel

Can a question be asked before any money moves?

Satisfied by

A channel that answers a pre-sales question — anything from a ticket form to a staffed chat — with a human reply.

Usually found

A form that routes to nothing, or a help centre whose articles were written for a different product.

At stake

The channel that will not answer before payment is the channel that will not answer about a renewal.

The three numbers, and why one is never enough

A plan is the combination. Any one of the three alone can make the other two irrelevant.
Number	What it limits	Hidden when
Daily cap	How many generations in twenty-four hours	Appears only in the terms, as fair use
Credits	Total work purchased	Published without a conversion rate
Queue	How long each one takes at peak	Described as priority, with no figure

The practical consequence for a buyer: treat an unpublished number as the restrictive case. That is not cynicism, it is what the unpublished number turns out to be, because a generous one is a selling point and gets printed.

Verdict

Completeness beats generosity

A plan with modest numbers that are all published is a better purchase than a plan with one impressive number and two silences. The first can be budgeted; the second is a surprise with a date on it. Where a vendor also names its model line-up and prints a retention period, the paperwork is in better order than most of this category manages.

Contradicted elsewhere Pricing page. The only vendor read here that publishes its limits and its prices without a sign-in: $6.99 a week, $9.90 a month, $59.88 for twelve months, with 100 images and 10 videos a month on Premium. The same page then states the free allowance twice, as five chat turns on the plan card and ten turns per character in the table, and the Premium allowance twice, as unlimited on the card and 1,000 turns in total in the table.

Published Terms of service. Effective 2 December 2025, with the operator named and a contact address in the document. The user owns what they generate, and the licence running back is perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable — and extends beyond operating the service to promotion and advertising.

Published Privacy policy. No retention period: the policy gives the factors it weighs instead, which is the same answer six of the eight catalogued vendors give. Chats and user content are used to train the models and are monitored for compliance, and the policy says so plainly rather than burying it.

Contradicted elsewhere Content policy. The community guidelines are the strongest of any vendor read here: eighteen and over, no character presented as younger than that and no aged-up rewrite of one, no sexualised depictions of real people without consent, human and automated review. The public tag list then carries jk, a Japanese abbreviation that denotes exactly the age bracket those guidelines rule out.

Published Checkout and cancellation. Card only, with other methods described as coming. Cancellation any time, with access running to the end of the billing cycle and no further charge — stated on the page where the subscription is sold rather than in a separate document.

Contradicted elsewhere Support channel. A support address is published, which several vendors here do not manage. Two of them, in fact: the terms give one address and the community guidelines give the same mailbox at a different domain.
