Free vs Creator vs Pro vs Apex: plans compared
PrismPoster has four plans: Free, Creator, Pro (most popular), and Apex. Every plan includes all the creation studios — Image, Video, Music, and Magic Edit — plus the timeline editor and the Creator Cast stream tools (Fan Clips, Fan Selfies, Fan Song Queue, OBS widgets), so you can try the whole workflow, including a small amount of video, from your free credits. Creator and above raise the monthly video allowance and the credit allotment that premium 1080p/4K video needs, and add publishing to Discover & PrismRadio; Pro and Apex add priority generation, priority support, longer history, and more storage. Paid plans include a monthly credit allotment from one shared pool, while Free starts with a one-time grant. For exact prices and the exact monthly credit numbers, see /pricing — this article covers what each tier unlocks, not the figures.
What does the Free plan include?
Free includes every creation studio: the Image Studio (text-to-image with cinema modes, camera treatment, and @tag references), the Music Studio (AI music with lyrics, cover art, stems, and more), Magic Edit for image editing, and the Video Studio. Video is credit-gated rather than tier-locked — your 150 shared starter credits cover about three 5-second 480p clips, alongside your images and music. Signup grants free trial credits. The Free plan is the evaluation path — there is no separate paid trial. Note that media you generate on Free consumes real credits and is real output you can export.
When do I need the Creator plan?
Choose Creator when you want more video, premium quality, or publishing. Creator and above raise the monthly video allowance and give you the credits that premium 1080p and 4K need, and let you publish to Discover & PrismRadio. Clip length is the same 15-second maximum on every plan. On Free your starter credits cover about three short 480p clips; Creator is where video becomes a workhorse. See video resolutions for what each tier can render.
What do Pro and Apex add?
Pro (the most popular plan) and Apex add priority generation so your jobs run sooner under load, priority support, longer generation history, and more storage for your Library. Apex sits above Pro with the highest allotments. The exact differences in credits, history length, and storage are on /pricing.
How do credits differ between plans?
Every plan draws from the same shared credit pool. Paid plans refresh their allotment each billing cycle — higher plans include more credits per month — while the Free plan starts you with a one-time grant of 150 starter credits. Regardless of plan, generation costs are the same per type — text least, images moderate, video most. See credit costs by type for that breakdown, and top up any plan with credit packs.
Can I save by paying yearly?
Yes. Annual billing is cheaper than monthly across the paid plans — roughly the cost of ten months for a year. See yearly billing for how to switch and what you save.
