How to Get Started for Free
The Truth About "Free" AI Image Generators
Many tools advertise themselves as free AI image generators but bury the actual costs. Here's how Wurt.app compares to what's really out there:
- Midjourney "free trial" — Midjourney ended its free trial. A paid subscription ($10/month minimum) is now required before generating a single image.
- DALL-E / ChatGPT — Free tier is extremely limited. Meaningful usage requires ChatGPT Plus at $20/month.
- Adobe Firefly — Requires an Adobe account and subscription for full use. Free tier generates watermarked images only.
- Stable Diffusion — Free to run locally but requires a powerful GPU and significant technical setup. Not truly "free" in time or effort.
- Wurt.app — Genuinely free to start. Real credits, no watermarks on generated content, no subscription required. Purchase more credits only when you want to.
Quality Tiers — What Your Free Credits Can Generate
Basic Mode
The fastest option, using fewer credits per generation. Great for quick drafts, exploring ideas, or when you need to generate lots of variations quickly to find the right direction.
Normal Mode
The best balance of quality and credit cost. Produces high-quality AI images suitable for most personal and professional use cases. This is the mode most users spend the most time in.
Extreme Mode (4K)
Uses more credits but delivers 4K resolution output. Best used when you have a final image you want at maximum quality — for printing, professional projects, or large-format displays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do free credits expire?
Check the platform for current credit expiration policies. Purchased credits and free starting credits may have different terms.
Can I generate unlimited images for free?
Free starting credits allow you to generate several images depending on quality settings. Once free credits are used, additional credits are available for purchase at low per-image costs.
Is the free version watermarked?
Wurt.app applies its own branding watermark to all generated content (as part of its standard output) — this is consistent across free and paid usage and is unrelated to any "trial" restriction.
What happens when I run out of free credits?
You can purchase additional credits at any time. There is no mandatory subscription — you buy a credit pack and use them at your own pace. Credits don't require a monthly commitment.
