Extra AI credits cost $5 per 1,000 a month. | Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout. |
