Seat-based SaaS punishes busy weeks and rewards idle licenses. Credits align cost with the work you actually ship.
Creative teams don't use software evenly. Launch week might mean hundreds of generations; a planning week might mean almost none.
Seat-based pricing charges the same whether your team ships or not. Credit-based pricing ties cost to output — images, enhancements, carousels, and other AI operations.
Top-ups exist when you have a spike — you aren't forced into an annual seat bump for a one-off campaign.
Compare cost per approved creative and time to scheduled post, not just subscription line items. Credits make that math honest.
Transparent pricing pages and in-app balances keep finance and creative leads aligned — no surprise invoices after a heavy production sprint.
