Where it falls short	No free trial at all since March 2023, must pay before testing quality Monthly fast GPU hours do not roll over, even on annual billing Private ('stealth') generation is gated behind the $60/month Pro plan	Credit system is confusing, a video or partner-model generation can cost far more credits than a standard image Consumer plans have no direct API access; API requires a separate enterprise/developer agreement Content moderation rejects a meaningful share of legitimate prompts (e.g. certain product categories)
