Compare tools on what each accepted image cost from the same brief, including rejected generations and editing time. - Credits are not refunded for results that simply miss the brief, so budget for several iterations per accepted image. Failed and content-filtered generations are refunded automatically, and a concrete defect reported through the Kive Agent can be refunded. - Kive is not the lowest-cost option for one-off image experiments; its plans pay for a workspace with Studios, product models, bulk generation, editing, video, and collaboration. - Unused credits roll over up to 2x the monthly limit, which suits campaign work that comes in bursts. ## Pricing FAQ ### How much does Kive cost? Kive starts free. The Basic plan is $40/month with 2,000 AI credits included, and the Pro plan starts at $100/month with 5,000 credits. Billing yearly saves 25% — $30/month for Basic and $75/month for Pro. Enterprise pricing is custom. ### Does Kive have a free plan? Yes. The Free plan includes 40 AI credits when you verify your email, plus inspiration browsing and up to 5 boards. When you run out of credits you can still generate one free image every 30 minutes. ### What is the right plan for me? We recommend the Pro plan starting at $100/mo for small teams and companies who need AI generation features and brand training. Individuals with lower needs can start with Basic at $40/mo. Larger organizations that need invoicing, pooled usage, or advanced security should choose Enterprise. ### What are my payment options? Self-serve plans support all major credit and debit cards. For invoice-based billing and wire transfers, please contact us to discuss the Enterprise plan. ### How does credit-based pricing work? Every plan includes a set amount of AI credits that refresh monthly. When you use up your included credits, you can still generate one free image every 30 minutes (every 20 minutes on Pro and Enterprise), ensuring you always have access to AI generation. For faster access, you can upgrade your plan for more credits. ### Do credits roll over? Yes! Unused credits roll over from month to month, up to 2x your monthly credit limit. This means you can accumulate credits over time, giving you flexibility to use them when you need them most. ### Can I get credits back for results I'm not happy with? We can't refund credits for individual generations. Like traditional photography where not every shot is a keeper, AI generation involves some variability — a few iterations may be needed to get the perfect result. This is expected behavior, and we're continuously improving quality and consistency. ### Is Kive legit? Yes — Kive is used by more than 10,000 brands and creative teams for AI product photography. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, plans are self-serve, and you can cancel or change your plan at any time.
