Pay for what
you finish.
Credits are spent against the AI work you actually produce — no fixed per-artifact list price. A $20 top-up usually covers a full novel plus a coloring book plus a short screenplay — three finished artifacts, then you walk away with the files.
Real numbers, per artifact.
Typical end-to-end cost per finished artifact, by model tier.

Costs are estimates — actual spend depends on prompt length, chapter count, and image/voice choices. Each job shows running cost while it runs.

No subscription? Pay as you go.
One-time credit packs work for any plan, including Free. Top-up balance stacks on top of monthly plan credits and never expires.
Bigger packs get a volume bonus — $5 gets +5%, $20 +15%, $50 +30% extra AC at no extra cost.
Every model, every plan.
Pick whatever model fits the work — Claude Haiku for fast drafts, Sonnet for long-form, Opus for tone, GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro. The plan governs your monthly credit budget, not which model you may use.
Free covers the formats that ship with our mark.
The free plan can build novels, graphic novels, and coloring books — the formats where an Artistik watermark sits comfortably on the page. Audiobooks, podcasts, and screenplays unlock with any paid plan.
