# OpenArt costs $14 to $240 a month, but plan credits reset every cycle and commercial use starts at $34.

By Kevin · Every price checked on openart.ai/pricing and openart.ai/help on 11 November 2026

OpenArt sells Starter at $14/month ($13/month billed yearly) with 4,000 credits, Plus at $34/month ($27/month yearly) with 12,000, Pro at $56/month ($44/month yearly) with 24,000 and Wonder at $240/month ($175/month yearly) with 106,000 (checked 11 November 2026). Its help center says monthly credits do not carry over, images cost 5 to 50 credits and video 100 to 800+ credits, and commercial use is available on Plus and above. The only way to add credits is a $15/month add-on of 5,000 credits that needs an active subscription. Zemith Plus is $15.99/month with 1.5M credits for images, video, Director, chat and research, with top-ups from $10 that never expire.

## Zemith Plus gives you image, video, Director and chat for $15.99/mo, about $18 less than OpenArt Plus.

- Text to Image runs Flux 2 and Flux 3, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, GPT Image 2, Seedream 4.5, Qwen Image 2, Wan 2.7 Image and Luma Photon, with a credit price shown before you generate.
- Video Generation runs Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, Seedance 2.5, Wan 2.7 and Grok Imagine, priced per second, and Director turns an idea into a multi-shot film with voice-over, music and captions.
- Characters keeps one face across shots, and the image editor, background tools, Relight and 4K upscaling sit in the same Creative Studio.
- The same 1.5M credits also run GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok chat, deep research and Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF files, and top-ups from $10 (800k credits) never expire.

- **OpenArt Plus (commercial use starts here):** $34/mo (_12,000 credits, about 150 videos or 12,000 images by OpenArt's own estimate; resets monthly_)
- **Zemith Plus:** $15.99/mo (_1.5M credits · image + video models + Director + chat, research & files_)

## Four pricing traps OpenArt subscribers run into.

### Your plan credits vanish at renewal.

> “Monthly credits reset each billing cycle and do not carry over.” — [OpenArt Help Center](https://openart.ai/help/), Official credit rules, Checked 11 Nov 2026

**On Zemith:** Zemith top-ups (from $10 for 800,000 credits, up to $100 for 10.4M) never expire, so a heavy month does not waste the next one.

### Video credit cost is a range, not a price.

> “depending on model, duration, and resolution” — [OpenArt Help Center](https://openart.ai/help/), Video costs 100 to 800+ credits per generation, Checked 11 Nov 2026

**On Zemith:** Video Generation prices every clip per second and shows the exact credit quote before you generate, so you can compare Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Wan first.

### Extra credits are a recurring subscription, and Starter cannot buy them.

> “Extra credits can only be purchased as an add-on to an active subscription.” — [OpenArt Help Center](https://openart.ai/help/), Official add-on terms, Checked 11 Nov 2026

> “Subscribe to Plus to Unlock” — [OpenArt pricing](https://openart.ai/pricing), Shown on the $15 Extra Credit add-on, Checked 11 Nov 2026

**On Zemith:** Zemith top-ups are one-time purchases on any paid plan, with no recurring add-on.

### Cancel and your work is deleted.

> “After your subscription ends, you have 14 days to download your assets before they are deleted” — [OpenArt Help Center](https://openart.ai/help/), Official cancellation terms, Checked 11 Nov 2026

**On Zemith:** Zemith credits and Creative Studio work live in the same account as your chats, so there is no separate media subscription to cancel.

## What OpenArt's plans do well, and how Zemith matches it for less.

### A lot of models and characters on every plan.

> “Access to 100+ premium image, video, and audio models” — [OpenArt pricing](https://openart.ai/pricing), Listed on every plan, Checked 11 Nov 2026

> “Up to ~13 consistent characters” — [OpenArt pricing](https://openart.ai/pricing), Starter plan listing, Checked 11 Nov 2026

**On Zemith too:** Zemith Plus ($15.99/month) includes Flux, Nano Banana, GPT Image 2, Seedream 4.5, Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Wan, saved Characters, Director films and AI chat. OpenArt lists more models in total.
