Bitgrain has two tiers. The free tier has no time limit, and Pro comes as a monthly plan you can cancel any time or as a single payment covering ten years.
Unlimited exports at web resolution, up to 1500px on the long edge, with a small watermark. There is no export count, no credit meter and no time limit. Every effect, every template and the whole studio are available on the free tier, including the video timeline.
Pro removes the watermark and unlocks full resolution export, SVG vector export, HDR stills, video export up to 4K, batch export across a whole shoot, and cloud sync between devices. Pay monthly and cancel any time from your account, or pay once for a license that lasts ten years and does not auto-renew. Every Pro option includes 300 renders a month through AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT.
The free tier has no end date. There is no clock on it and no export count, and it does not lock any effect, template or surface behind an upgrade prompt. What it does is watermark the output and cap it at web resolution, which is enough to design a cover, share a draft, post to social, or work out whether the tool suits you before paying anything.
The things Pro unlocks are the ones that only matter once work leaves the screen: printing at full resolution, sending vector files to a plotter or a press, exporting video at delivery resolution, running a whole shoot through one chain, and keeping projects in sync across machines.
Payments run through DodoPayments. Bitgrain never sees or stores card details. If a license does not apply to your account after payment, email the support address with the transaction reference and it will be applied manually.
