Free vs Creator vs Pro vs Apex: plans compared
PrismPoster has four plans: Free, Creator, Pro (most popular), and Apex. Free gives you the Image Studio and Music Studio so you can generate and edit images, make music, and try the workflow. Video generation is not on Free — it unlocks on Creator and above. Pro and Apex add Studio Pro (Canvas), priority generation, longer history, and more storage. Each plan includes a monthly credit allotment from one shared pool. 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 the Image Studio (text-to-image with cinema modes, camera treatment, and @tag references) and the Music Studio (AI music with lyrics, cover art, stems, and more). You also get Magic Edit for image editing. 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 video. Video generation — text-to-video, image-to-video, end-frame, director mode, the timeline editor — unlocks on Creator and above. If video is what you came for, Free will not have it. See video resolutions for what each tier can render.
What do Pro and Apex add?
Pro (the most popular plan) and Apex add Studio Pro (Canvas), priority generation so your jobs run sooner under load, 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; what changes is the monthly allotment that refreshes each billing cycle. Higher plans include more credits per month. 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.
