Questions
What counts as an export?
Each time you download a design counts as one export, in every file format you tick. Previews, edits and product photos are free.
Do unused exports roll over?
Monthly exports start again each billing month. Extra exports you buy as top-ups never expire.
What happens after my 3 free exports?
Keep designing and previewing as much as you like. To download more, buy single exports for $1 or pick a plan.
I already subscribe. Does my plan change?
No. Members who subscribed before October 2026 keep their plan, price and exports for as long as they stay subscribed.
What is Founders Lifetime?
One payment of $499 for 100 exports every month, for life, with every generator and feature we add later. It is only offered to the first 100 members, and if you have a monthly plan we cancel it for you when you buy.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel or switch plans from Account in the app. You keep your plan until the end of the month you paid for.
