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	Token cost varies by GPU load with no published per-model rate table, making budgeting hard Premium third-party models (Veo, Kling, Sora) burn tokens at full price even on paid tiers Failed or moderation-blocked generations reportedly still consume tokens with no refund
