How is writing quota billed? What do plans and the wallet cover?
AnswerArticles follow the plan cap: the free tier includes 3 articles; Starter includes 15; Pro at $49/mo and above write without an article cap. Images, video seconds, and rank checks debit the shared wallet after the included amount. Dubbing does not spend article slots; each workspace has a weekly free character pool, see How many free voiceover characters do you get each week?. Paid media is separate. Checkout is Stripe.
What the plan covers versus the wallet
Free lets you ship one real article; it does not include video. Starter at $20 adds 15 articles and 15 render seconds. Pro is one person doing write, cut, ship, and rank. Team shares 5 seats. Scale and Agency add seats and seconds. The table is below; the page is plans.
The wallet is shared by images, video, and rank after the plan quota. Included video seconds use Mini 480; costlier render models debit the wallet from the first second. Plan-included writing and webpage generation use cheap models such as DeepSeek Chat; Grok and Reasoner bill the wallet. Dubbing overage also hits the wallet; the rate is in How is AI voiceover priced—per character or per minute?. Dianwu sells the line, not a single API; see What is Dianwu?.
Will writing just stop?
On free and Starter, you upgrade or wait when the article count is used (follow the workspace prompt). Pro and above do not cap article count; model timeouts and length still apply.
You spend quota writing the master draft. Sync does not count as another article. Sync: How do I sync one master draft to many platforms?. Video needs seconds on the plan; see How do I turn an article into a short video?.
