| Pricing | The homepage FAQ lists 30 credits for a high-resolution print PDF download, separately from generation. Include rejected iterations and the required export in a cover budget.

Verify free-credit quantity, download entitlements and refunds before buying. | The [pricing page](https://imagedescriber.dev/pricing) lists a $4.99 pack of 100 credits and a $9.99 monthly option with 600 credits. The larger monthly option is $29.99 for 3,000 credits. One guest analysis and daily free experience credits are advertised; the precise daily allowance and credits per selected operation need account confirmation. Do not equate credits with completed images. |
