VectorForge — Pricing, credits & plans

• Can I buy credits without subscribing?

  Yes. Credit packs are one-time and never expire while your account is active: 20 credits for $8, 50 for $18, or 120 for $36. That’s roughly 30–40¢ per AI image.

• Do I get to try AI for free?

  Yes — every account gets 3 free AI previews (watermarked). Add credits to remove the watermark and get clean, vector-ready output.

• How do AI credits work?

  Generating on a new image costs 1 credit. Not happy? Regenerating the same image — new style, dials, or a tweak — costs just 0.2 credit each, so you can iterate cheaply and only pay full price once per image. Switching to a different image is a fresh 1-credit generation.

• How does this compare to other tools?

  Most tools charge a subscription for the layer separation and vectorizing that VectorForge gives away free. You only ever pay here for optional AI, and our credits are cheaper per image than the common alternatives.

• What does Pro include, and how much is it?

  Pro is $9/month or $79/year and adds: a commercial license to sell your work, your cloud library (My Designs — save and re-edit projects), 40 AI credits every month, and priority support. Pro is also included in FoundryPass.

• What is FoundryPass?

  FoundryPass is one pass that unlocks VectorForge Pro plus the other Maker Foundry apps, with a monthly credit allotment. If you use more than one Maker Foundry tool, it’s the best value.

• What’s free and what costs credits?

  Everything in the converter is free with unlimited downloads — B/W, Color, Power Layers, Depth/coins, Dither, background removal, cut/engrave, mirror, sizing, and all exports. Credits are used only for AI features: AI cleanup and AI image-from-text.
