Pricing & Billing

60 Minute Creator runs on a simple idea: you bring your own API key for the AI providers you use, and your subscription only pays for the workflow builder around it, not for generation credits. This page explains the four plans, the free trial, and how to manage your subscription from Settings.

How pricing works

You connect your own key from a provider such as fal.ai, Kie AI, or OpenRouter, and every AI generation runs on that key. The provider bills you their own price directly, and 60 Minute Creator never marks it up or resells credits. Your subscription pays for the canvas, scheduling, and parallel execution around your workflows, not for the AI itself.

The plans

There are four self-serve plans: Starter, Pro, Scale, and Studio. Each plan can be billed monthly or annually, and annual billing saves 20% (shown as "Save 20%" on the billing toggle; the per-month prices below are rounded to whole dollars).

PlanMonthlyAnnual (per month)Billed once a year
Starter$25$20$240
Pro$59$47$564
Scale$99$79$948
Studio$199$159$1,908

Starter, "Get your first content machine running on your own API keys," includes:

  • Full node library & templates
  • Run 2 workflows at once
  • 500 workflow runs a month
  • 2 scheduled workflows

Pro, "For creators publishing on a steady schedule," includes everything in Starter, plus:

  • Run 5 workflows at once
  • 1,000 workflow runs a month
  • 10 scheduled workflows
  • MCP & integrations (connect AI assistants to your account)

Scale, "Run your whole content batch at once instead of one at a time," includes everything in Pro, plus:

  • Run 15 workflows at once
  • Priority execution
  • 2,000 workflow runs a month
  • Unlimited workflows & schedules

Scale is marked "Most Popular" on the pricing page.

Studio, "Agency-grade volume with the highest queue priority," includes everything in Scale, plus:

  • Run 20 workflows at once (expandable)
  • Highest priority execution
  • 4,000 workflow runs a month
  • Add +5 parallel slots any time

There is no separate "enterprise" plan card. If you need more than Studio offers, you can get in touch, as noted in the FAQ on the pricing page.

Free trial

Your first subscription starts with a 3-day free trial. A card is required at signup, but nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then. The checkout button reads "Start 3-day free trial."

During the trial, every feature of your plan is unlocked, and you get 20% of its monthly workflow runs to test with: 100 on Starter, 200 on Pro, 400 on Scale, 800 on Studio. Your plan's full allowance unlocks when the trial ends and your subscription starts.

The trial is one per account and one per card. If you have subscribed before, checkout skips the trial: the button reads "Subscribe" and your plan starts right away.

Signing up

  1. Go to the pricing page and pick Monthly or Annual, then choose a plan.
  2. Click "Start 3-day free trial" (or "Subscribe" if you have used your trial before). You're taken to a secure checkout page to enter your card details.
  3. Once checkout completes, you'll land on a confirmation page: "Your 3-day free trial has started, and nothing is charged until it ends." Returning subscribers see "Your subscription is active and your plan starts right away." instead.
  4. If you cancel checkout before finishing, you're returned to a page confirming no charge was made and nothing changed on your account.

Managing your subscription

Go to Settings and open the Billing tab.

If you don't have a subscription yet, the tab shows "No plan" with a "View plans" button that takes you back to the pricing page.

Once you're subscribed, the tab shows:

  • Your plan name and a status chip: "Trial," "Past due," or "Active."
  • Your price, for example "$47/mo · billed annually."
  • A line telling you what happens next: your trial end date, "Cancels <date>" if you've cancelled, "Changes to <tier> (<interval>) on <date>" if a downgrade is scheduled, or "Renews <date>" otherwise.
  • Two buttons: "Change plan" and "Manage billing."

Usage

Once you're subscribed, the Billing tab shows three usage bars that reset when your billing period ends:

  • Workflow runs: how many of your monthly allowance you've used.
  • Scheduled workflows: how many you have set up, against your plan's limit.
  • Workflows: how many you have, against your plan's limit (or "Unlimited").

Only full workflow runs, whether started manually or on a schedule, count toward your monthly run allowance. Single-node runs and partial re-runs are free.

Changing plans

Click "Change plan" on the Billing tab to open the plan chooser. It has the same Monthly/Annual toggle and a row for each plan with its price. Pick a plan and click "Select," and you'll see a confirmation step telling you whether the change "Applies now, prorated" or "Applies <date>," with Confirm and Cancel buttons.

The rule of thumb: upgrading to a higher plan, or switching from monthly to annual on the same plan, applies immediately and you're billed a prorated difference right away. Downgrading to a lower plan, or switching from annual to monthly, takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep what you already paid for until then.

You can't change plans while a payment is past due; update your payment method first.

Add-ons

Add-ons only appear once your subscription is active.

Concurrency: adds +5 parallel execution slots for $20/month per unit, so more of your workflows run at full speed at once. Available on Scale and Studio (shown as "Available on Scale and up" on lower plans). You can add up to 4 units yourself; beyond that, get in touch.

Run packs: adds 1,000 extra workflow runs to your current period for $25 with the "Buy run pack" button. Available on Pro and above (Starter shows "Upgrade to Pro" instead). You can buy up to 3 packs per period on Pro and Scale, and 1 per period on Studio; once you reach that, the button shows "Limit reached."

If you run more workflows at once than your plan's concurrency allows, nothing fails and nothing is lost: every run is accepted right away, and the extra ones start automatically as slots free up. A higher plan, or a Concurrency add-on, moves the whole batch through faster.

If you reach your monthly run allowance, runs already in progress always finish. New runs pause until your period resets, unless you buy a run pack or upgrade your plan.

Cancelling

To cancel, click "Manage billing" on the Billing tab. This opens a secure Stripe-hosted portal where you can cancel your subscription, along with updating your payment method and viewing invoices.

If you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your workflows and media are kept for 30 days in case you want to come back. If you resubscribe during that window, nothing is deleted.

Invoices and payment methods

All of your invoice history and payment method updates live inside the same secure portal opened by "Manage billing." There's no separate invoice list inside 60 Minute Creator; that's handled entirely by the portal, and it returns you to the Billing tab when you're done.

If a payment fails

If a payment fails, your plan's status becomes "Past due," and you'll see a banner at the top of every page. Within the first 5 days, it reads: "Your last payment failed. Update your payment method to keep your plan active." After that window, it reads: "Your payment failed and the grace period has ended, new workflow runs are paused until your payment method is updated." Click "Update payment method" on the banner to open the billing portal and fix it. You can't change plans or buy add-ons while a payment is past due.
