Trade-offs to check

  • Free plan only includes limited free daily generations; more usage requires a paid subscription
  • Premium features such as video and audio generation and partner model outputs consume generative credits, which reset monthly and do not roll over
  • Users are responsible for determining whether content generated by partner models is appropriate for their project; commercial-use assurance applies to Adobe Firefly models
  • Higher-tier plans are needed for larger monthly credit allowances (up to 50,000 credits on Firefly Premium)
