Maker Business Essentials and Hobbyist are monthly only. There is no annual plan.
Monthly Subscription Credits do not roll over, expire at the end of the applicable monthly service period, are nontransferable, and are separate from Purchased Credits. Blocked requests and verified technical failures should not consume a generation credit; if a credit is incorrectly consumed, the remedy is credit restoration.
Maker Business Essentials does not include AI Generation Credits and cannot purchase generation-credit buckets. Hobbyist, Basic, and Premium may purchase generation-credit buckets.
Purchased Credits
- 20 credits — $6.31
- 40 credits — $12.64
- 60 credits — $17.91
Purchased Credits are one-time purchases, granted after successful payment, separate from monthly credits, and consumed after monthly Subscription Credits.
Purchased credits are non-refundable. If your Studio subscription ends, you may use any remaining purchased credits for 15 calendar days after the cancellation or termination effective date. Any purchased credits remaining after that 15-day period are forfeited.
All purchased credit bucket prices are tax-inclusive and include applicable Texas state and local sales tax calculated under the 20% data processing services exemption. Tax is collected at purchase.
Storage Boosts
- +5 GB — $3.15/month
- +10 GB — $5.26/month
Storage Boosts are monthly recurring add-ons regardless of whether the Studio plan is monthly, 3-month prepaid, or 6-month prepaid. The full monthly price is charged when added with no day-proration, and full capacity is granted immediately.
All Storage Boost prices are tax-inclusive and include applicable Texas state and local sales tax calculated under the 20% data processing services exemption.
Plan changes
Upgrade Now: The customer is shown the exact additional tax-inclusive charge and exact additional Subscription Credits before confirmation. The charge is the approved difference between the current and higher plan, the additional credits are the higher plan’s entitlement difference, the higher plan begins immediately, and the existing renewal date does not change.
Upgrade Next Cycle: $0 today. The current plan continues through the current paid term and the selected plan begins at the existing renewal date.
Permitted downgrades take effect at the next renewal. There is no immediate refund-style downgrade and current-term credits or features are not removed retroactively.
Renewal and cancellation
Subscriptions renew automatically for the selected cadence unless canceled. VMS intends to send a renewal reminder approximately 48 hours before renewal through email and account or login notification.
There is no general voluntary-cancellation refund. Cancellation stops future renewal. Paid Studio access continues through the end of the already-paid term unless non-waivable law requires otherwise. Unused monthly Subscription Credits are not refunded merely because the customer cancels or does not use them.
Failed renewal
A failed recurring renewal starts a 7-calendar-day grace period to correct payment. If payment is not recovered by the end of grace, the subscription ends and the 30-day Storage-only period begins. Monthly Subscription Credits expire without refund. Remaining Purchased Credits may be used for 15 calendar days after termination and are then forfeited without refund. The customer may later resubscribe; then-current pricing applies if prices changed after termination.
The failed-payment grace period is not a refund window.
Billing errors
Confirmed duplicate charges, erroneous charges, unauthorized charges handled under applicable processor or law rules, and charges after a valid cancellation effective date will be investigated and corrected as appropriate. Confirmed duplicate charges are refunded through the applicable Square process.
Technical generation-credit disputes use credit restoration rather than a cash refund. Submit a Help Desk ticket and manual review for a technically failed generation.
