• Built around the character-consistency problem, which suits storyboards and recurring-character content better than a general image prompt box
• The free trial includes the character and object library, so you can test consistency before paying
• Purchased credit packs never expire and need no subscription
• The free allowance is a one-time 50 credits with no monthly refresh, and video generation starts on the Pro plan

• Style Reference (--sref) and Character Reference (--cref) enable consistent visual worlds across projects
• Commercial license included on all paid plans — no extra IP clearance needed for client work
• Version 6.1 photorealism is stunning — faces, textures, and lighting are now genuinely professional quality
• No free plan — $10/mo minimum before you can evaluate fit for your workflow
• Discord-based interface is clunky — searching your generation history is painful despite the web app improving
