Karya Now Has Subscriptions: Creator, Pro and Ultimate Plans From $19/mo

Karya now has subscriptions. Alongside the pay-as-you-go top-ups that have always been here, you can subscribe to a Creator, Pro or Ultimate plan for a recurring monthly credit allowance - and if you run an agency, a White-Label plan is on the way. Nothing about the studios themselves changed: every plan, subscribed or not, gets the same image, video and audio models, the same Karya MCP plugins, the same Karya Flow and Karya Director, and the same pro editing tools. What a subscription buys you is a cheaper, standing supply of credits - and on Pro and Ultimate, bonus credits on top of that.

The three plans

• Creator - $19/mo for 2,300 credits/mo, or $190/yr for 27,600 credits (pooled for the year). Roughly enough for about 145 images or 25 five-second videos on a standard model, every month.
• Pro - $49/mo for 6,500 credits/mo (5,900 base + 600 bonus credits), or $490/yr for 70,800 credits. Roughly 400 images or 70 five-second videos a month.
• Ultimate - $99/mo for 14,400 credits/mo (12,000 base + 2,400 bonus credits, about 20% extra), or $990/yr for 144,000 credits (the equivalent of $83/mo billed annually). Ultimate is Karya's largest credit allowance, and it also keeps your generations in the Library for 90 days instead of the standard 30.
• White-Label - $297/mo for agencies: your brand, your domain, your own Stripe account, and you set your own prices. This one is not self-serve yet - it is "talk to us" while we onboard the first agencies by hand.

Why subscribe

The math is the whole pitch. Karya's cheapest pay-as-you-go pack, the $100 Max pack, works out to about $0.0093 a credit. Creator's monthly plan is about $0.0083 a credit - cheaper than the biggest one-time pack you can buy, at a fraction of the up-front spend. Go annual and it drops again: $190 a year for Creator is the same 2,300 credits every month for the equivalent of $15.83/mo, about 17% off the monthly price. Pro's annual plan does the same trick - $490 a year works out to $40.83/mo for the same 5,900 base credits/mo you'd pay $49/mo for. Ultimate pushes the value further still: the bonus credits alone are worth more than a top-up pack of the same size, and the 90-day retention means fewer downloads-before-they-expire fire drills if you work in bursts. If you create every month and would burn through a pack anyway, a plan is simply the cheaper way to buy the same credits.

Who should stay pay-as-you-go

A subscription only pays off if you actually use the allowance. Plan credits reset every period and do not roll over, so a month where you barely touch Karya is a month where most of that allowance is wasted. If your usage is occasional or spiky - a burst of images for one launch, then nothing for a few weeks - a top-up you buy only when you need it will usually cost you less overall, because nothing you paid for ever expires or gets left on the table.

Simple rule: if you would comfortably use most of 2,300 credits most months, Creator saves you money over buying packs. Heavy monthly users who want the most headroom and the longest safety net on their files should look at Ultimate. If some months would go unused, stay on top-ups and buy exactly what you need, when you need it.

What changed in the packs

The top-up ladder itself got cheaper to enter and more generous higher up. The old $3 minimum is gone; packs now start at $5:

• Starter - $5 for 500 credits.
• Basic - $10 for 1,000 credits.
• Plus - $20 for 2,000 credits.
• Pro pack - $50 for 5,000 credits + 300 bonus.
• Max - $100 for 10,000 credits + 700 bonus.

Your first purchase of any kind - a pack or a subscription - still adds 200 bonus credits on top. Top-ups still never expire, still stack on top of a subscription if you have one, and still work on every model and studio in Karya. Nothing about how top-ups behave has changed; only the price ladder got friendlier.

White-Label, for agencies reselling under their own brand

If you run an agency and want to put Karya-grade image and video generation in front of your own clients under your own brand - your domain and logo, while your users top up credits the normal way and you earn a commission on every purchase they make, with no wallet or payment setup on your side - that is the White-Label plan at $297/mo. It is not a self-checkout button today: message us on WhatsApp (wa.me/601132044931) and say you want to white-label Karya Studio, and we will set the first agencies up by hand while the self-serve tenant flow gets built.
