Credit-Based Plans

Three paid tiers built around real monthly credits, real image costs, and account-linked checkout.

Banana now prices generation with a simple credit model: 1 credit = $0.05. You choose a monthly or yearly tier, then spend credits against Banana-2 or Pro output at 2K and 4K.

Credit value

1 credit = $0.05, so the package math stays easy to reason about when you move between tiers.

Real image costs

Banana-2 2K uses 4 credits, Pro 2K uses 5, Banana-2 4K uses 5, and Pro 4K uses 6.

Checkout path

Public pricing is fixed here, while account-bound subscription checkout is selected from the Billing panel inside Studio.

Plan Structure

A clean paid ladder from solo use to studio volume

The pricing model is now aligned across the public page and the in-product Billing panel, so the front-end no longer talks like an old free sandbox.

FAQ

Questions people ask before subscribing

Is Banana still using a free starter tier?

No. The commercial plan ladder is now three paid tiers: Starter, Pro, and Team. Temporary internal testing access does not change the public pricing model.

What is one credit worth?

One credit is priced at $0.05. That maps to 4 credits for Banana-2 2K, 5 credits for Pro 2K, 5 credits for Banana-2 4K, and 6 credits for Pro 4K.

How do yearly plans work?

Yearly billing applies the published annual discount to the same plan tier. The billing system is designed around a yearly billing cycle and 12 months of plan credits for that cycle.

Where do I choose or change a subscription?

The plan catalog is public here, but account-linked checkout is handled from the Billing panel inside Studio so the subscription can stay attached to the correct user and credit ledger.

Next Step

Create an account, open Studio, and choose the tier that matches your actual monthly output.

The public pricing model is fixed now. Subscription selection and account-bound checkout live in the Studio Billing flow, which is where payment IDs and webhook sync are attached to the correct user account.
