Artlist pricing and plans explained

Highlights

Artlist pricing starts at $11.99 a month billed annually for AI Starter, with AI Core and AI Creator adding more credits.
Music & SFX covers stock music and sound effects from $9.99 a month, and Max combines the stock catalog with credit-based AI tools.
Unlimited lets you generate on selected models without using credits, and Business plans add custom limits and legal protection.

Choosing a plan should take a few minutes, not an afternoon. This guide maps every current Artlist plan: the AI plans (AI Starter, AI Core and AI Creator), the stock catalog plans (Music & SFX and Max), and the Business options. You get the price, what is included and who each plan fits. For the model-by-model detail on AI plans, see AI plans in detail.

All prices are in USD, excluding VAT, and show the monthly rate when billed annually unless stated. Prices and model lists can change, so the Artlist pricing page is the live reference.

AI plans: Starter, Core and Creator

The Artlist AI plans give you credits to spend across every AI tool: image, video, voiceover and music. Credits renew every month, and you split them however you like.

  • AI Starter: 16,500 credits at $11.99 a month billed annually ($143.88 a year), or $19.99 billed monthly.
  • AI Core: 40,000 credits at $23.99 a month billed annually ($287.88 a year), or $39.99 billed monthly. Includes Unlimited on 8 models.
  • AI Creator: 80,000 credits at $41.67 a month billed annually ($499.99 a year), or $69.99 billed monthly. Includes Unlimited on 18 models.

Every AI plan includes 100+ models, the Image Editor, 3D model creation, 70+ AI Presets, Artlist Studio and a commercial license. Credits to outputs, the model lists and settings are in Artlist AI pricing: plans, credits and Unlimited models.

Stock catalog plans: Music & SFX and Max

Music & SFX is the stock plan for music and sound effects. It starts at $9.99 a month billed annually, or $14.99 billed monthly.

Artlist Max combines the stock catalog with the AI tools. You pick a credit amount on the pricing page: 7,500, 16,500, 40,000 or 80,000. Credits plug into the same AI tools as the AI plans, and the price shown depends on your selection and currency.

Max also carries Unlimited. Choose 40,000 credits to unlock 8 models, the same as AI Core. Choose 80,000 credits to unlock 18 models, the same as AI Creator. Max has no USD price in this article, because the amount changes with the credits you select. Check the Artlist pricing page for your price.

What Unlimited means

Unlimited lets you generate on selected models and settings without using credits. You can switch Unlimited off to use your credits for faster processing.

Unlimited generations run fast up to your monthly fast limit, then at standard speed. Parallel limits set how many generations run at once. Unlimited is for human use only: no automation, scraping or account sharing. Yearly plans from 40,000 credits include it, and monthly plans do not.

The list of Unlimited models changes often. Check the pricing page for the current list, and read the model list per plan in AI plans in detail.

Plans for teams and businesses

Max Business is built for teams of up to 7 members. It costs $399.00 a month billed annually and includes 180,000 credits, Unlimited on 24 models, 900 fast generations and 5 parallel generations per user.

Custom Business is for large companies and agencies. It adds Unlimited on all models, custom fast and parallel limits, SOC 2 Type II, SSO, a dedicated account manager and legal indemnification. Pricing is custom.
