Plans & what each one unlocks

Four plans. Free covers most evaluation and casual use. Pro is the standard subscription. Team adds shared studio assets. Lifetime is a one-time founder-tier offer with a capped quantity.

What you can actually do on Free

Almost everything. Free includes every editor feature: layer auto-cut, body shape, custom mocap, anim-check, test run, all four export formats. The only ceilings are the 3-project active limit, the 4 MB asset size cap, and zero AI variant generations.

Hitting the 3-project ceiling doesn't delete projects — it just blocks the New project button until you delete or upgrade. Existing projects stay accessible and editable.

When to upgrade to Pro

Pick Pro when one of these is true:

• You want to keep more than 3 active projects.
• Your character art is high-resolution (≥ 4 MB per layer PNG).
• You want AI variants — even 50 / month is enough for serious style exploration on multiple characters.
• You want priority asset processing (uploads + variants skip the free-tier queue).

When Team is right

Pick Team when you have multiple seats sharing assets. The shared studio asset library lets your team upload sprite sheets once and reuse them across every project — useful when your character set is consistent across multiple projects (e.g. five enemies that share a foot rig). Per-seat permissions control who can edit vs view.

Lifetime

One-time founder-tier offer. Capped quantity. See /pricing for current availability and exact pricing.

Who owns my characters?

You do. Charios doesn't claim copyright on your characters or their AI variants. You can export, sell, license, distribute the output however you like — for personal projects, indie games, commercial games, anything. See Frequently asked questions for ownership specifics.
