One Payment. Yours Forever.

Standard gets you the desktop app, every AI model, and pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. Pro saves you 33% on every generation forever (you plug in your own Google or fal.ai API key on Pro and pay the provider directly at raw rates), plus a priority generation queue and early access to every new model on release day. You can start with Standard and upgrade to Pro later, or buy Pro directly.

Both licenses include the Slates desktop app for Windows and Mac, every AI model, $10 in starter credits, 1 year of updates, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pro buyers who switch to their own API key after the first day mostly run on their own provider directly, so there's no reason to bundle more starter credits than Standard.

On the Pro tier, you create your own account with Google and fal.ai (the AI providers), generate an API key, and paste it into Slates Settings. When you generate a video, your own key pays the provider directly at their published rate. Zero markup from Slates. That's where the 33% savings come from — Slates Credits run at a 1.5x markup over raw API, and Pro lets you skip the markup. For creators who generate every day, the savings compound. Setup takes about two minutes.

Credits are priced at 1.5x the raw API rate and never expire. For example, if a Veo 3.1 Fast video costs $1.20 at the provider, it costs about $1.80 in credits. Still cheaper than any subscription platform. On Slates Pro with your own API key, you pay the raw $1.20 directly. Both options work from the same app — credits is the default, Pro own-key is the upgrade.

No. Every license comes with starter credits so you can start creating immediately. Setting up your own API key is a Slates Pro feature for heavy users who want to save 33% on every generation forever. Takes about 2 minutes.

Your app keeps working forever. Both tiers include 1 year of updates. After that, license holders get 50 percent off major version upgrades (V2, V3, etc.), and bug fixes keep shipping regardless.

No trial, but every license has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Buy it, try it, and if it does not work for you, email us for a full refund. No questions asked.
