# Pricing FAQ {% hint style="info" %} **Effective May 5, 2026.** This FAQ describes FLORA's new pricing model. For what changes for existing subscribers, see the [Migration Guide](/plans-and-billing/migration.md). {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} **Launch bonus through at least July 1, 2026.** Every paid plan gets extra usage during launch, and Pro and Max users get unmetered Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 in select windows. See the [Launch Bonus](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md) page. {% endhint %} ## 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](/plans-and-billing/migration.md#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](/plans-and-billing/migration.md#what-happens-to-your-credits) 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](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md) (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](/plans-and-billing/migration.md#what-this-means-for-your-generations) 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](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md) 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](/plans-and-billing/launch-bonus.md#unmetered-nano-banana-for-pro-and-max) 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](/plans-and-billing/migration.md#if-youre-a-multi-seat-workspace-admin) 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 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](#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 the [Migration Guide](/plans-and-billing/migration.md#adding-seats-during-the-grace-period) 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**](/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? 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? Yes. Every plan includes every model at the same per-generation rate. 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 — Free is capped at 3 active projects. All paid plans have unlimited projects. ### 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](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?
