Limits

The vendor's pages conflict: credit help lists 10 Free credits under a monthly heading, while Creator help lists 150 lifetime credits. The current Essentials card lists 4 recording hours, while help lists 2. The website keeps annual-plan top-ups until subscription end, but credit help gives a blanket 2-month expiry. Cards are identified as the source without discarding other claims by majority vote. Credit use also depends on model, length, resolution and chat actions. Terms describe a 7-day trial that charges automatically unless cancelled in time. Users retain their content as against Async, but grant a broad license for service delivery, development and AI improvement; a training opt-out is provided. The privacy policy requires consent for voice cloning and separate consent for model improvement using voice data. Check recording and voice rights first.
