One-Time vs Monthly & Yearly Plans Estimated reading: 4 minutes 4847 views 🧠 Overview MyStage.AI offers three flexible ways to manage your credits:One-Time Packs, Monthly Subscriptions, and Yearly Plans. All plans give you access to the same AI tools; the difference lies in how credits are refilled, how long they last, and how much you save per credit. MyStage.AI offers the best rates in the industry across all AI platforms that utilize third-party services; in some cases, we are even 70-80% cheaper. 💳 One-Time Credit Packs One-Time Packs are prepaid bundles of credits that never expire.They’re perfect for casual creators or anyone who prefers complete control over when to top up. Key Features: Purchase anytime from the Pricing tab. Credits appear instantly after payment. No renewals; expires 1 year after purchase. Pay standard rate per credit. 💡 Best for: New users testing tools, or occasional creators who generate content on demand. 🔁 Monthly Subscriptions Monthly plans automatically refill your credits every 30 days at a market’s best prices.They’re designed for creators who generate regularly and want consistent value. Monthly Plan Credit ExpirationCredits from a monthly plan remain valid for three months from the date they are issued. For example:If you subscribe to a Basic Monthly Plan on January 1, 2026, you’ll receive 700 credits each month starting that day and continuing for as long as your subscription is active. Each monthly credit batch is valid for 90 days (3 months). Credits issued on January 1, 2026 will expire on April 1, 2026. Credits issued on February 1, 2026 will expire on May 1, 2026, and so on, unless used before their expiration date.

Yearly Plan Credit ExpirationCredits from a yearly plan remain valid for one year from the date they are issued. For example:If you subscribe to a Basic Yearly Plan on January 1, 2026, you’ll receive 700 credits each month starting that day and continuing until January 1, 2027. Each monthly credit batch is valid for exactly one year. Credits issued on January 1, 2026, will expire on January 1, 2027. Credits issued on February 1, 2026, will expire on February 1, 2027, and so on, unless used before their expiration date. The platform always consumes the oldest credits.
