Credits and Plans

Magic Patterns is a subscription-based service with a free tier and several paid plans. Paid plans unlock additional features and include monthly credits that renew automatically. Credits power AI generation features.

​

Plans

​

Plans are by Workspace

Plans in Magic Patterns are applied per user at the workspace level, not the individual user level. You can be a member of multiple workspaces—some may be on paid plans while others are on the free tier. The workspace selector in the sidebar shows which plan each workspace is on.

Credits

Credits are consumed when you use AI generation features. Cost scales with the complexity of the task.

​

Viewing Credit Consumption

After each AI generation, you can see exactly how many credits were consumed. The credit cost appears in the chat interface next to the AI response, helping you understand usage in real time.

​

Choosing the Right Model

You can select which AI model to use for each generation using the model picker. Different models have different strengths and credit costs: hover over each option to see how they compare. Choosing models based on your task:

• For smaller, targeted changes: Consider using a faster model when you’re making focused edits, quick iterations, or lightweight adjustments. These models work well when you have a clear, specific request.
• For complex design challenges: When tackling larger creative tasks, exploring new directions, or working on more sophisticated UI problems, a more capable model can provide better results.

The key is matching the model to the task at hand.

​

Monthly Refresh Cycle

• Monthly plans: Credits renew when your invoice is paid (when Stripe successfully charges your payment method).
• Annual plans: Credits renew at 2:00 AM UTC on the day after your billing date. The exact local time depends on your timezone (e.g., ~7:00 PM PST or 2:00 AM the next day in London).
• Subscription changes are captured and applied before credits refresh.

​

Credit Rollover

We believe rollovers are only fair! Unused monthly credits roll over to the next month and expire after 1 month.

​

On-Demand Usage

On-Demand Usage lets you keep generating after your monthly credits run out, with pay-as-you-go billing. It is only available on paid plans (Starter, Business, Enterprise).

​

Budget Alerts

If you’re on a paid plan with On-Demand Usage enabled, you can set budget limits and alert thresholds at magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription.

​

How it works

1. Be on a paid plan (Starter, Business, or Enterprise).
2. Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription, click Manage Plan, and enable On-Demand Usage.
3. When your monthly credits run out, you keep generating. Each additional credit costs $0.02 with pay-as-you-go billing on your next invoice.

Billing

​

Where to manage billing

Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription to manage your plan, enable On-Demand Usage, set spending limits, and download invoices. This page works for both workspace and individual plans.

​

Upgrading

1. Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription.
2. Click Manage Plan.
3. Select a new plan.
4. Complete the upgrade in the payment portal.

Upgrades take effect immediately. You’re charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle, minus a billing credit for unused time on your old plan. Your credit balance is adjusted to the new plan’s allocation minus credits already used.

​

Downgrading

1. Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription.
2. Click Manage Plan.
3. Select a lower plan or click Downgrade.
4. Confirm.

Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Current plan features and credits remain active until then. Projects and generated code are never deleted on downgrade.

​

Cancellation

1. Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/subscription.
2. Click Manage Plan.
3. Click Cancel Plan.
4. Confirm.

Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing cycle, then reverts to Free. Projects remain accessible. Unused credits expire at cycle end. You can resubscribe anytime.

Teams

​

Team workspace tiers

All paid members must be on the same plan tier. If your workspace has 11 or more paid seats, it requires the Business or Enterprise plan. Free seats can always be added to any workspace at no cost.

​

Managing your team

Go to magicpatterns.com/settings/team to add or remove seats, manage team members, and upgrade or downgrade users. Use this if you’re an admin managing your workspace. For more details on setting up and managing team workspaces, see the Team Workspaces page.
