## Which plan fits which team

- Free: trying Kive, browsing inspiration, and limited generation before committing.
- Basic: an individual or small team that needs AI image and video generation, editing tools, workspace features, and moderate monthly credit volume.
- Pro: a small team or e-commerce brand that needs more credits, more users, unlimited AI products, and brand training.
- Enterprise: custom limits, custom AI visual presets, personal onboarding, dedicated support, advanced security and controls, invoicing, pooled usage, or procurement support.
- Exact live plan details are on the human pricing page; check it before quoting final pricing in a buying or procurement context.

## Comparing cost with other tools

- Credits, exports, and generations are allowances, not finished images. 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. Billed yearly, Basic is $30/month and Pro is about $67/month in the first year, then $75/month at renewal. Enterprise pricing is custom.

### How does the Black Friday offer work?

Pro billed yearly gets 4 months free in your first year instead of 3: Pro with 5,000 credits is $800 for the first year instead of $900. The discount is applied automatically at checkout, including when you switch a monthly plan to yearly, through December 1, 2026 (UTC). From the second year your plan renews at the standard yearly price (3 months free). A promo code replaces the offer.

### 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 difference between Basic and Pro?

Pro starts with 2.5× the credits of Basic (5,000 a month, about 25 finished ads). Pro also includes 10 users instead of 2, 50,000 library items instead of 10,000, and unlimited AI products. Annual Pro also gets unlimited credit top ups.

### What is the right plan for me?

Basic ($40/mo, 2,000 credits, about 10 finished ads a month) fits individuals. Pro (from $100/mo, 5,000 to 80,000 credits) fits brands and teams that ship ads every week. 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. An image generation costs about 10 credits, a 5-second video about 100, and a finished ad about 200 across iterations and formats. Failed and content-filtered generations are refunded automatically. When you use up your included credits you can still generate one free image every 30 minutes.

### Do credits roll over?

Yes. Unused credits roll over from month to month, up to 2× your monthly credit allowance, so you can save them for a launch.

### Can I get credits back for results I'm not happy with?

Failed and content-filtered generations are refunded automatically. We can't refund credits for individual results you don't like: like traditional photography, not every shot is a keeper, and a few iterations may be needed to get the perfect one.

### Is Kive legit?

Yes. Kive is used by more than 12,000+ 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.
