How to Choose Between AI Subscriptions and Credit-Based Usage

A framework for choosing a plan based on content volume, workflow frequency and team needs.

Estimate your repeatable volume

Count the drafts, variations and revisions you create in a normal week. A recurring workflow may benefit from a subscription, while occasional projects may fit usage-based credits.

Separate seats from generation volume

Teams often need more collaboration before they need more output. Consider how many people review or manage work, then compare that with the generation volume you actually expect.

Review after real usage

Start with the smallest plan that supports a real workflow, measure activation and usage, and upgrade when the pattern is clear rather than guessing from a theoretical maximum.

Choose the workspace that matches your content rhythm

Create a free workspace and turn the next brief, product or idea into a usable first draft.
