Is Cosindra free?
Yes, you can start free with no card. The Starter plan gives 30 credits every month, and eligible new accounts also get 50 one-time signup credits. No credits are needed for installing Cosindra Desktop and its Unreal plugin, WorldWeaver's Brief Check, BlueprintStudio's planning step, RigMaster's 5 polish rounds after each rig, MaterialForge's Adjust, a verified account's first MaterialForge repaint or watching the MotionSmith gallery (10 of its motions download free). Generations cost credits: a rig 15, a Blueprint graph 10, a world 6, a material 4, a MotionSmith prompt 5 and a LaunchKit analysis 3. Starter includes one lifetime free download, shared across products. More downloads come with a paid plan (from $9.99 a month for 150 credits) or a one-time credit pack ($5 for 50 credits, $10 for 100 or $20 for 200), whose credits never expire and which opens downloads for 15 to 30 days.
Are these separate subscriptions for each product?
No. A Cosindra plan gives you one credit allowance to use across web generation and hosted chat. Desktop and IDE access follow the plan’s eligibility and tool limits. You choose where to spend the credits.
What changes when I choose annual billing?
You pay the yearly total upfront: BYOK is $95.88, Pro is $288, Elite is $588, and Studio is $2,148 per seat. Credits are still allocated monthly, not all at once. Pro gets 600 credits each month and Elite gets 1,100, including a 100-credit monthly annual-plan bonus. BYOK stays at 150 credits each month; Studio stays at 3,000 per seat.
Can I use my own account instead of credits?
In Cosindra Desktop only, eligible paid plans can connect supported provider accounts or API keys. Requests on that own-provider path don’t use Cosindra credits, but your provider’s fees and limits apply. Web generation still uses Cosindra credits. Starter includes a 10-day Desktop BYOK trial; web products have no trial and always use credits.
What does the free Starter plan include?
Starter includes 30 credits per month, 2 projects, and a 10-day Desktop BYOK trial (Cosindra Desktop only; web products have no trial). Eligible new accounts also receive 50 one-time signup credits. File exports are restricted: one lifetime free copy/download where the product enforces that allowance. A credit pack opens downloads and exports for 15 to 30 days without a subscription. Applying work in the editor is a separate action, not an unlimited file-download entitlement.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You can use your results in commercial projects on every plan, including the free Starter plan. You keep all rights to what you create with Cosindra, such as game assets, Blueprints, materials and levels, and Cosindra does not claim ownership of it. File downloads on Starter still follow its export allowance.
Does a Material Pack cost the same as one material?
No. The total depends on the number of results. A four-material pack uses 16 credits at the standard rate of 4 per material, or 36 credits with Pro Engine at 9 per material. Standard materials have a 1024x1024 texture and maps; Pro Engine materials have a 2048x2048 (2K) texture and maps. Pro 4K is the 2K render upscaled to 4096x4096 with an AI upscaler, for 13 credits per single material; Apply in UE5 imports the 2K maps for now, and the downloads carry the 4K maps. New textured materials include six maps: Base Color, Normal, Roughness, AO, Metallic and Height. Blueprint System Packs are also charged per graph. Pack access requires an eligible paid plan and the corresponding feature to be available.
What happens when I use my monthly credits?
Credit-consuming work needs enough remaining credits. Your allowance refreshes with the next monthly credit period; it doesn’t provide unlimited generations. Eligible own-provider use in Desktop follows your provider’s balance and limits separately. You can move to a plan with more monthly credits, or buy a credit pack once: $5 for 50 credits, $10 for 100 or $20 for 200. Credits you buy never expire and stay yours if you subscribe later.
How do credit packs and download days work?
A credit pack is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: $5 for 50 credits, $10 for 100 or $20 for 200, a flat 10 cents a credit. The credits never expire. A pack also opens downloads and exports for a number of days, counted from the purchase: 50 credits give 15 days, 100 give 20 and 150 or more give 30. Packs bought while your download days are open add up, and a new pack never gives you fewer days than it would alone. Anything you make while the days are open stays downloadable after they end. Plan features such as Pro Engine, Material and System Packs and own-key chat stay with the plans. If you come back every month, a plan costs less per credit: BYOK is 6.7 cents a credit and includes downloads every month. A refunded pack removes its unspent credits and its download days.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Cancel renewal from the Billing tab in your account and keep your paid-plan access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
How do credits and paid access work in web products?
All web products use Cosindra-managed AI and Cosindra credits, including on the BYOK plan. Your own API keys and AI subscriptions are supported in Cosindra Desktop only, not on the web. The same operation costs the same credits across eligible plans; monthly credit allowances differ. Paid access does not mean unlimited generations. Optional generation steps use the displayed credits.
What is Pro Engine?
Pro Engine is an optional paid-plan toggle for supported web generations. Where available, it adds 5 Cosindra credits to the standard operation cost on every eligible plan, including on the BYOK plan. The total is shown before you generate. Web products do not accept your own API keys; own-key support is available in Cosindra Desktop only.
