Most image and video tools want a new subscription. Airbrush now has another option: pay once, and get a set number of credits every month for the lifetime of the product.
There are three plans: Starter at $29, Pro at $97 and Studio at $145. Every plan includes every tool. The only difference is how many credits you get each month.
What you get with each plan
| Starter | Pro | Studio | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-time price | $29 | $97 | $145 |
| Credits every month | 400 | 1,400 | 2,200 |
| Price per monthly credit | $0.072 | $0.069 | $0.066 |
| Veo clips a month | 0 | 2 | 4 |
| Videos a day | 3 | 5 | 10 |
Every plan includes Create, Edit (remove backgrounds, upscale, vectorize), Headshots, Video Studio, video variations and your Library, with full commercial usage rights.
Studio has the lowest price per monthly credit. That is simple arithmetic on the table above, nothing more.
What "lifetime" means
Lifetime means the lifetime of the Airbrush product. You pay once and keep your monthly credits for as long as Airbrush operates this product. It does not mean forever, and it is not a promise about any one AI model or provider. Models change; the credits and the tools stay.
Credits refill on the 1st of every month (UTC). They do not roll over, and a refill sets your balance to your monthly amount rather than adding to it.
Who it is for
- Starter ($29) suits someone who wants to try Airbrush for real: a few hundred images a month, some editing, the occasional video.
- Pro ($97) suits creators and small teams who make something every week and want some Veo clips.
- Studio ($145) suits heavy daily use across images and video.
If you only make a handful of images a year, the free plan or a subscription you cancel may serve you better. A lifetime plan pays off when you keep using it.
How credits are spent
Every action costs credits, and the app shows the cost before you run it. Typical costs:
- Standard image: 1 credit (small 0.5, extra large 4)
- Upscale: 1 credit. Remove background: 2 credits
- Headshots: 5 credits plus 2 per image
- Video Studio: 1 credit per second (5 second minimum)
- Veo clip (8 seconds): 25 credits
- Premium image engines cost more per image
So 400 credits is about 400 standard images if you spend all of them on images. Spend them on video and you get fewer images.
Limits, explained plainly
- Veo clips and videos a day are capped per plan (table above).
- Safety checks and video cost checks still apply to every plan.
- When you reach your credits, wait for the refill on the 1st, or add another lifetime purchase.
- The Airbrush API is a separate product. The lifetime plans are built for using Airbrush in the app.
Stacking and upgrades
You can hold up to 3 lifetime purchases on one account, up to 2,800 credits a month in total, in any mix. Two Starter purchases give 800 credits a month. Pro plus one Starter gives 1,800. Studio plus one Starter gives 2,600.
You can also upgrade by paying the difference: Starter to Pro $68, Starter to Studio $116, Pro to Studio $48. An upgrade replaces the purchase it upgrades; it does not add to it. A purchase that would take your account over the stacking cap is refunded automatically.
How it compares
Airbrush's regular Monthly plan is $39 a month for 1,234 credits. Against that:
- Pro costs $97, about two and a half months of Monthly, and gives 1,400 credits a month for as long as the product runs.
- If you would use Airbrush for only a month or two, Monthly (which you can cancel) costs less overall.
- If you expect to use it for many months, one payment is cheaper than renewing.
We are not comparing to other products by name. Check what you would actually use, and pick the option that fits.
