See the [Launch Bonus](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md) page. {% endhint %} ## Launch Bonus ### What's the launch bonus? 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. **From June 10, 2026**, unmetered Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 also apply to Starter, Pro, and Max (paid seats only): | Plan | Unmetered windows | Per-user rate limits | | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | | Starter | Off-peak weekdays (7 PM – 2 AM EST) and all weekend hours | 60 NB2 + 40 NB Pro/hour | | Pro | 24/7 | 60 NB2 + 40 NB Pro/hour | | Max | 24/7 | 150 NB2 + 75 NB Pro/hour | Off-peak hours are in **Eastern Time (EST)** — see [Launch Bonus](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md#unmetered-nano-banana) for full details and generation estimates. ### 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. ## Legacy Contributors ### What's a legacy contributor? If you admin a **multi-seat usage-based workspace** that migrated in May 2026, your non-admin teammates may still be **legacy contributors** — a temporary role during the post-migration grace period. They keep full editing access and pull from your workspace's pooled usage, so day-to-day work doesn't change. Launch perks like [unmetered Nano Banana](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md#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 per-seat billing. The grace period runs **six months from migration** (until **November 5, 2026** for monthly workspaces; annual workspaces until their first renewal after May 5, 2026). After it ends, legacy contributors lose editing access until you buy a paid seat for them. ### 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 to ask). If your workspace has legacy contributors, the new seat first converts one of them to a permanent editor — see the [next question](#how-do-i-convert-a-legacy-contributor-to-a-paid-seat). See [Seats](/plans-and-billing/manage-subscription.md#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 [Manage Your Subscription → Seats](/plans-and-billing/manage-subscription.md#seats) for the full picture. ### 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**](/plans-and-billing/model-pricing.md) 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? A live percentage bar is in the app header. For the current cycle, open **Settings → People & Seats** and check **Usage this period** — included usage, your **reset date**, and any overage for the period. Per-generation detail is in **Usage History** under **Plan & Usage**. ### When does my usage reset? Your monthly included usage resets on your workspace billing date. The exact time appears under **People & Seats → Usage this period** (for example, *Resets on July 1st at 11 PM PDT*). Launch bonus usage resets on the same schedule as your standard monthly budget. ### 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](/plans-and-billing/pricing.md) and [flora.ai/pricing](https://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](https://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](/plans-and-billing/pricing.md) and [flora.ai/pricing](https://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. Workspace admins enable it under **Settings → People & Seats** (shown as **Overage**). You set a **max overage** dollar limit for the billing period so spending cannot run away. A payment method must be on file on self-serve plans. Same published model rates as included usage — no markup. ### When am I charged for on-demand / overage usage? **Not at the end of the billing cycle.** On self-serve plans (Starter, Pro, Max), your card is charged when unpaid overage crosses billing thresholds — often **while you are still generating**, not on renewal day. Typical order: 1. **You hit your max overage cap** — total overage for the period reaches the limit you set; Flora bills any remaining unpaid amount and stops further overage until renewal. 2. **Unpaid overage reaches $200** — system safety threshold. 3. **Unpaid overage reaches your workspace's monthly subscription total** — plan price × editor seats (monthly equivalent on annual plans). Example: solo Starter ($18/mo) is often charged around **$18** of unpaid overage at a time; a 4-seat Pro workspace ($200/mo) around **$200** at a time. 4. **Daily balance check** — if more than **$5** is still unpaid and none of the above applied yet, Flora tries to collect it once per day (around 8:15 AM UTC). You may see **several charges in one period** if your max overage is higher than your subscription total — each charge clears unpaid overage, but your **period total** still counts toward your cap. **Enterprise** workspaces on invoice billing are usually invoiced on a **monthly or quarterly** contract schedule instead of charged to a card immediately. See **People & Seats** for the next invoice date when that applies. ### What does the max overage cap do? Two things: * **Spending limit** — Flora blocks new generations when **total overage this period** would exceed your cap. * **Billing trigger** — when total overage **reaches** your cap, Flora bills whatever is still unpaid and overage stops for the rest of the period. Paying an earlier overage charge does **not** give you a fresh cap mid-cycle — the period total keeps accumulating until subscription renewal. If your cap is **$10** on a **$18/mo** Starter workspace, you will be billed and stopped around **$10**, not $18. If your cap is **$100**, you may be charged repeatedly near **$18** unpaid until you reach **$100** total for the period. ### 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](https://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?
