> ## Agent Instructions
> Flowy is a node-based AI creative platform: you generate images, video, audio, 3D and vector on an infinite Canvas, refine on the Studio timeline, and export or publish from the same project.
> Prefer the Flowy MCP server (https://mcp.tryflowy.ai/mcp) or the REST API at https://apis.tryflowy.ai/v1 for programmatic work. Install with `flowy mcp install` from the @flowy/cli package.
> Credits are workspace-scoped. Generations reserve credits on start and only deduct on success, so failed runs refund automatically.

# Plans and Upgrades

> Compare Flowy's plans, start a trial, upgrade or downgrade, and know exactly what changes and when.

Every workspace starts on **Free**. This page covers moving between plans, for the full feature-by-feature comparison and prices, see [plans & pricing](/billing/plans).

## Compare plans and start a trial

Free, Lite, Pro, Ultra, and Enterprise each raise the ceiling on monthly credit allowance, projects, seats, brand kits, published apps, and export quality: the [plans & pricing](/billing/plans) table lays them all out side by side. Image generation and editing is unlimited and free on every one of them, Free included: the plans differ on everything else. Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance: **2,000 a month on Free**, 5,000 on Lite, 15,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Ultra. That allowance is the only credit a plan grants; there is no separate signup or subscribe bonus. Free trials have been retired.

## Upgrade a workspace

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings → Billing">
    The overview shows your current plan, renewal date, and credit balance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose View plans">
    Compare tiers, toggle monthly or annual, and pick the plan you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete checkout">
    First-time upgrades go through a secure checkout. If the workspace already has a paid plan, the switch applies to your existing subscription directly. No new checkout needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Downgrade or cancel

Choose **Cancel subscription** in **Settings → Billing**. There's no separate "downgrade" flow. Cancelling is how you step back down to Free. Changed your mind? **Resume plan** brings the subscription back anytime before the renewal date arrives.

## What changes immediately vs. at renewal

This is the part worth getting right before you click anything:

* **Upgrading applies immediately.** The moment checkout completes (or the switch goes through on an existing subscription), the new plan's limits and credit allowance are available. No waiting for a renewal date.
* **Downgrading and cancelling apply at renewal.** You keep your current plan and every feature it unlocks until the renewal date, and only then does the workspace switch to Free. Nothing is taken away mid-cycle.
* **Mid-trial plan switches move the trial in place**: the trial doesn't restart or end early, it continues on the new plan.

<Note>
  Monthly credit allowances arrive with a paid plan, but topping up credits works on every plan, including Free. See [credits & costs](/help/credits-and-costs) for buying credits and checking your balance.
