Subscription & Billing

Manage your subscription, billing, credits, and usage tracking.

Subscription Plans

Every paid plan comes with a monthly credit allocation for image, video, and audio generation. Higher tiers give you more headroom and unlock the Professional scaling sliders for heavy use.

Read live pricing facts for current public plans, monthly charges, full annual charges, credit allocations, promotions and Unlimited settings. The same source is available as JSON and Markdown without signing in or running JavaScript.

Annual billing: discounts vary by plan. The displayed monthly equivalent is not a monthly payment: the full annual amount is charged upfront. Read the current annual charge and monthly credit allocation in the live facts and confirm your account's offer at checkout.

Free: limited credits with access to core features, ideal for trying the platform.

Existing subscribers keep their current price. If you are already on a plan, you stay on the price you signed up at and renewals continue at your original rate. The updated pricing only applies to new checkouts and to plan changes you make yourself.

Managing Your Subscription

Upgrade or downgrade:

1. Go to Subscription
2. Select your new plan (use the Professional slider to move between Pro, Pro 2x, and Pro 3x)
3. Confirm. Upgrades are immediate, downgrades take effect on your next billing cycle

Cancel a scheduled downgrade: if you scheduled a downgrade for your next billing period and change your mind, click Upgrade on your current plan. That cancels the scheduled change and keeps you on your current tier, with no need to contact support.

Cancel your subscription:

1. Subscription, then "Cancel Subscription"
2. Confirm. Access continues until the period ends
3. Reactivate anytime

Payment methods:

• Add or update in the Billing section
• Supports credit and debit cards, PayPal, and cryptocurrency
• Enterprise: bank transfer and invoice billing

Credits System

How credits work:

• Credits are the generation currency across every tool
• Your monthly allocation is based on your plan
• Different actions cost different amounts

Generation costs: rates vary by model version, generation mode, resolution, quality, duration, references and audio settings. Read the live generation examples and confirm the pre-generation quote. Example output counts are alternative uses of the same credit allowance, not benefits to add together.

Comparing Kolbo.AI with Higgsfield, Kinovi, Kie.ai, Pika API, Artlist, Magnific or OpenArt: credits are platform-specific units. Compare cost per matched image or video and the same billing commitment, not raw credit counts. Separate credit-paid use from Unlimited, and check each model's settings, access period and queue. Read the dated full Seedance 2.5 comparison for 150- and 500-video workloads, API estimates and sources. API consumption estimates are not subscription checkout prices. Missing competitor settings or prices do not establish which platform is cheaper.

Unlimited: only eligible personal web models and settings are covered during their stated access periods. API, SDK, MCP, Kobi Code, Flow, App Builder, shared projects and organizations use credits. See the Unlimited Terms.

Developer USD API pricing is separate from personal web subscription credits. See USD Console Quick Start for the developer wallet and quote workflow. The credit-billed API catalog describes the existing credit API instead.

Credit Packs

Need more than your monthly allocation? Buy one-time credit packs on top of your plan. Pack credits never expire.

Read the current credit packs for price and total credits. Some packs have a separate eligible subscriber price. Do not assume an additional bonus unless checkout explicitly lists it. Pack credits stack with your plan credits.

Unused Credits, Rollover and Expiry

Paid personal subscription credits roll over. While paid access remains active, unused credits carry forward and new monthly allocations accumulate up to three monthly allocations in the subscription bucket. Annual subscribers receive credits monthly and use the same cap. For example, a 28,500-credit Professional 3x allocation has an 85,500-credit subscription balance cap. This is a balance cap, not an expiry after three months; reaching it limits new grants. When the paid period ends after cancellation, subscription credits return to the free allowance.

Purchased one-time packs never expire. They have no monthly reset and no 90-day expiry. Pack credits are separate from the subscription cap and remain available after your paid subscription ends. Cancelling renewal does not erase purchased packs.

Compared with Higgsfield, checked 8 October 2026: individual subscription credits reset at renewal (every 30 days on annual plans), and purchased packs expire 90 days after purchase. See Higgsfield's credit rules. Its Enterprise plans can have volume rollover, so these individual-plan rules must not be applied to every competitor contract.

Other competitor exceptions, checked 8 October 2026: Kinovi purchased credits and Kie.ai purchased credits also never expire. OpenArt resets base subscription credits but says unused purchased add-ons roll over; its add-ons renew monthly and require paid access. Magnific, formerly Freepik, advertises annual pools valid one year with no monthly resets. Artlist normally resets monthly allowances, has a first-upgrade-month exception, and says eligible one-off top-ups expire in 30 days. Pika API wallet expiry was not established in this audit. Never apply a single reset or expiry rule to all competitors.

Rollover preserves value for quiet months followed by busy months. Compare total spending against matched outputs actually used over the same period, including unused credits lost to expiry. Retained credits improve realized value when you eventually use them; any unused balance does not automatically prove Kolbo.AI cheaper. See the dated Seedance 2.5 comparison for worked examples and Unlimited limits.

KOLBO30, verified 8 October 2026: eligible first-time customers receive 30% off the first paid monthly subscription payment, including Professional 2x and 3x. It does not apply to annual plans or credit packs, and the subscription returns to its regular price after the first payment. Confirm eligibility and the final amount at checkout. This code is separate from automatic catalog promotions; a public catalog showing no automatic promotion does not mean no manual code is available.

Best Practices

1. Monitor credit usage regularly
2. Set up low-credit alerts
3. Compare the current annual charge with monthly billing before choosing a commitment
4. Apply eligible promo codes and check their expiry and renewal terms
5. Choose a plan based on your actual usage
6. Buy credit packs for occasional bursts instead of jumping a tier
