Pricing FAQ

Effective May 5, 2026. This FAQ describes FLORA's new pricing model. For what changes for existing subscribers, see the Migration Guide.

For Existing Subscribers

Does my billing date change on May 5?

No. Your billing date stays exactly as it is today. On May 5, your plan converts and your full new-plan monthly budget unlocks immediately — even mid-cycle. It runs until your next renewal, then renews on your existing schedule. See Migration Guide → What Happens on May 5 for the full mechanics.

What happens to my existing credits?

Your credits convert automatically to a dollar balance at $1 per 1,000 credits when your account migrates on May 5. The converted balance:

  • Doesn't expire.

  • Persists across billing cycles (unlike your monthly plan budget, which resets).

  • Is consumed after your monthly plan budget runs out each cycle.

Example. If you're on legacy Starter ($18/mo, 20,000 credits) and have 20,000 unused credits at migration, those convert to $20 of extra usage — more dollar value than you originally paid for the credits. Your recurring cost stays at $18/mo, and cheaper per-generation rates on most models mean your $18 baseline already buys more than your old credits did.

You can see your balance in Settings → Plan & Usage after migration. See the Migration Guide for full details.

Will I get more or fewer generations on my new plan?

Per-generation rates are the same or cheaper on most models, so your per-dollar value of generations improved or held steady on every plan.

Monthly capacity depends on which plan you migrated from:

  • Studio → Pro / Scale → Max: roughly even at baseline, ~50–80% higher during the launch bonus (through at least July 1).

  • Starter → Starter: subscription stays at $18, and cheaper per-generation rates on most models mean the new $18 baseline buys roughly the same as (or more than) your old credits. Launch bonus brings you to $30, well above your old capacity through at least July 1.

See the Migration Guide for model-by-model comparisons.

What's the launch bonus?

To celebrate the pricing launch, every paid plan gets extra usage on top of its standard monthly budget through at least July 1, 2026 — Starter +$12, Pro +$50, Max +$100 per seat. Pro and Max users also get unmetered Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 generations during select windows (Pro: off-peak 7 PM – 2 AM EST and weekends; Max: 24/7), capped per user per hour at 150 Nano Banana 2 generations and 75 Nano Banana Pro generations. See the Launch Bonus page for full details.

What changes when the launch bonus ends?

Plans return to their published baselines: Starter $18 usage, Pro $50 usage, Max $200 usage per seat — no change to subscription price. Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 generations begin counting against your usage budget at their published rate, in all hours.

What's a legacy contributor?

If you admin a multi-seat usage-based workspace (Starter / Studio / Scale, or a custom multi-seat plan), your non-admin teammates become legacy contributors at migration. It's a temporary role: they keep full editing access and pull from your workspace's pooled usage during the grace period, so nothing changes for how they work day-to-day. Launch perks like unmetered Nano Banana apply to paid seats only — to include a teammate, convert them to a paid seat. If you were on Pro per-seat, Agency Standard, or Agency Elite, you don't have legacy contributors — your team migrated directly to v3 per-seat. See the Migration Guide for grace period dates and what happens after.

How do I add a paid seat?

You can buy up to 8 paid seats through self-serve billing. Past 8, the standard path is moving to Enterprise — though in some cases we can raise the cap on a per-workspace basis (email [email protected] to ask). If your workspace has legacy contributors from migration, the new seat first converts one of them to a permanent editor — see the next question. See Seats for the full picture.

How do I convert a legacy contributor to a paid seat?

Each new seat you buy converts one of your legacy contributors into a permanent editor — you pick which one. You can't assign a fresh seat to a brand-new person until all your legacy contributors have been converted (or removed). See the Migration Guide for the full mechanics.

What is seat cycling?

Seat cycling is how you bring on a new editor without adding a paid seat — useful if you're at the seat cap or just don't want to grow your subscription. Demote an existing editor to guest (which frees their seat without changing your subscription cost), then assign the freed seat to the new editor. You can promote a guest back to editor later if you want to swap again.

Usage & Billing

How is usage calculated?

Each generation has a dollar cost based on the model used, which is deducted from your workspace's monthly budget.

What counts as usage?

Any generation from an AI model — images, video, audio, text — based on that model's published cost.

Do failed generations count against my usage?

No. If a generation fails, nothing is deducted.

Where do I see what each model costs?

Three places:

  • Model Pricing page — published dollar rates per model, for comparing before you generate.

  • Usage History view — per-generation dollar cost and percentage of budget consumed.

  • App header — live percentage meter showing budget remaining at a glance.

Can I see exact dollar costs for each generation?

Yes. The Usage History view shows cost per generation, per project, and per member — useful for client billing or team budgets.

Where do I see my current usage?

In Settings → Plan & Usage, with a detailed breakdown in Usage History.

Does my monthly usage roll over if I don't use it all?

No. Your plan's monthly budget resets each cycle — but any extra usage you have (from migrated credits, referrals, promotions, or support grants) persists.

What's the difference between monthly and annual billing?

Annual saves 20% on the subscription price — your monthly usage budget is the same either way.

Plans & Models

Can I change plans anytime?

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your current billing cycle.

Do all plans have access to every model?

In the FLORA app: Starter and above include text, image, and video models (plus the rest of the catalog, e.g. audio), all at the same published per-generation rates. Free includes text and image models only — no video models in the canvas — with limited complimentary generations, not a monthly dollar budget. See How Pricing Works and flora.ai/pricing.

FLORA API and MCP: Available on Starter and above, not on Free. Upgrade to Starter for programmatic access and agent integrations.

Some workspace and team features vary by plan — see flora.ai/pricing for the full feature comparison.

Is FAUNA really free on every plan?

Yes. FAUNA messages and interactions don't count against your usage budget on any plan, ever.

Does the Free plan have any other limits?

Yes:

  • Projects — Free is capped at 3 active projects. All paid plans have unlimited projects.

  • Models — Free is text and image only in the app (no video models). Starter and above add video and the full catalog at published rates.

  • Explore usage — Free uses limited complimentary generations, not a monthly dollar pool. Paid plans include a monthly usage budget. See How Pricing Works and flora.ai/pricing for the current free cap.

  • API and MCP — Not included on Free; included from Starter upward.

Can I buy extra usage outside my plan?

Not as a direct purchase. To go beyond your monthly budget, enable on-demand spending or upgrade your plan.

What's on-demand spending?

An opt-in way to keep generating after your monthly budget runs out, capped at a monthly limit you set and billed at the end of the cycle.

Is on-demand usage priced the same as included usage?

Yes. Same published rates, no markup.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep your plan's access through the end of the billing period. Any extra usage in your workspace stays with you and doesn't expire if you come back.

Do you offer student or education discounts?

Yes. Learn more at flora.ai/edu.

Teams & Workspaces

How do shared workspaces work?

Every paid seat adds to a shared usage pool, so your whole team draws from the same budget.

Can I set a spending cap for individual team members?

Yes. Workspace admins can set per-member usage caps.

Can admins split usage per-user instead of pooling it?

Yes. Admins can toggle between a pooled budget and per-user budgets at any time.

Can I use FLORA with collaborators who aren't on my workspace?

Yes. They can join a shared project and generate using their own workspace's usage pool.

What if I need more than 8 seats?

Reach out at flora.ai/contact.
