Magnific

Magnific is what Freepik renamed itself, and the plan buys both halves of that history: a quarter of a billion photos, vectors and PSDs, plus generation and upscaling across a shelf of image, video and audio models. Credits are the meter, and they are issued for the year rather than reset every month, so a heavy fortnight does not strand the rest of the quarter. A commercial licence covers what comes out. Anybody who only wants stock will be paying for the model access as well, because the plans no longer separate them.

Premium is $14.50 a month billed annually or $20 monthly, and includes 240,000 credits for the year, access to every image, video and audio model, the upscalers, the stock library and API access. Premium+ at $33.75 annually raises that to 600,000 credits and adds music rights to the licence, with a third tier at $210. Credits can be topped up at any time and do not reset monthly. Freepik's own free tier still exists beneath the paid plans.

Somebody producing a lot of visual work who was already paying for stock and for a generation tool separately, because the plan now covers both and the credits carry across the year. The annual credit pool suits uneven work better than a monthly allowance. Anybody who only wants stock photography is subsidising model access they will not touch, and a cheaper stock-only subscription elsewhere will serve them better.
