About AI-Powered Features
Some tools — like auto subtitles, OCR, AI writing — require an AI backend. Free users can bring their own API key to use these features at no cost. Pro users get a monthly allowance of AI credits included in their subscription.
Free
Bring your own API key — use AI features for free with your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
Pro
500 AI credits/month included — no API key needed. Use AI features out of the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do free users get fewer features?
No. Every tool works the same for free and Pro users. There are no feature gates, no watermarks, and no file size limits on the free plan. Pro only adds convenience: no ads, native apps, and AI credits.
What are AI credits?
AI credits let you use AI-powered features (OCR, auto subtitles, AI writing tools) without providing your own API key. Pro users receive 500 credits per month that renew automatically. Free users can still use these features by entering their own API key.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. You'll keep Pro benefits until the end of your billing period. No questions asked.
Is there a monthly plan?
Currently we only offer annual plans: Lite at $20/year and Pro at $100/year. This keeps pricing simple and gives you the best value.
Do I need Pro to use the desktop or mobile app?
No. Both Lite and Pro include the desktop and mobile apps. The web version remains free and fully functional for everyone.
What's the difference between Lite and Pro?
Both plans include ad-free browsing and the desktop & mobile apps. Pro adds monthly AI credits (so you don't need your own API key) and priority email support.
