Frequently asked questions
How much is DreamStudio each month?+
The monthly plan is priced at $10. That sits under the site median of €13.15 for monthly plans, and DreamStudio ranks 32 of 94 brands on monthly price. The figure is a plan price, so one number covers the monthly cost.
Is anything free before you pay?+
Signup credits come first: Free credits on signup, then pay per image. In practice a new account can render before any money changes hands, and that free balance sets how much you can try. Once the balance is spent, billing moves to the pay per image model.
What does one image cost?+
A standard image draws About 2-4 credits per standard image from the balance. Because the credit cost per image is set, you can work out how many renders a given balance covers before you start, which keeps spending steady. That suits adults producing a steady stream of stills.
What resolution do the images reach?+
Images come out at Up to 1024px. That resolution suits thumbnails, drafts and sharing online, and it is the ceiling the tool works to, so larger print sizes fall outside it. Adults who need bigger canvases for final output will treat this as a limit.
How does the price compare with other brands?+
The DreamStudio monthly plan is $10. SecretDesires.ai lists $7.99, while DeepSwap lists $9.99 and Wordtune lists $9.99, so the DreamStudio figure sits in the middle of that group. Credits per image decide how quickly the monthly figure is used.
Who is DreamStudio aimed at?+

What happens after the signup credits run out?+
After that balance is used, Free credits on signup, then pay per image describes the next step, which is payment per image. Credits are drawn as renders are made, so a heavier month costs more than a quiet one. The monthly plan of $10 sits alongside that per image charge.
