Artlist Subscription Plans and Pricing (2026)

Last updated on 

Last verified: 2026-05-14

Artlist restructured its plan lineup in early 2026 around the new AI Suite tiers (AI Starter and AI Professional replacing the previous flat AI Suite tier) and continued bundling everything into a single Artlist Max plan. The Music, SFX, Footage and Templates tiers are largely unchanged from 2025. This page lays out every current Artlist plan, what each one includes, the monthly price billed annually vs. monthly, and which plan fits which workflow.

Find the best, working Artlist discount code before you sign up — it stacks on top of the annual-billing savings (yearly plans save around 40% on the plan price and up to 62% on credit value compared to monthly).

What changed for 2026

The headline structural changes vs. the 2025 lineup:

  • The old single-tier AI Suite ($29.99–$69.99) was replaced by two new tiers — AI Starter and AI Professional — with credit pools ranging from 7,500 up to 1,000,000 per month.
  • Artlist Max became the default recommendation for most professional creators — it now bundles the full music, SFX, footage, template and AI library on a single $39.99/month annual plan, with 5 free team seats unlocked at 180,000 AI credits or more.
  • Max Business was formalized as the plan for 50+ employee companies and agencies, with legal indemnification on AI-generated output, priority generation speed and team-level credit and model controls.
  • The AI lineup itself exploded — Veo 3.1, Sora 2/Sora 2 Pro, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Hailuo 2.3, Nano Banana, Lyria 3 Pro and others all live inside the same credit pool. See our full breakdown of every AI model on Artlist in 2026.

AI credits explained

The AI Suite, AI Voiceover and Artlist Max plans all share a single credit pool that works across every AI model in your plan.

Credit cost varies by model and output:

  • Image generation (Nano Banana, Imagen 4, Ideogram V3, Hunyuan V3) — roughly 100 credits per image.
  • Short AI video (5-second clip, standard model) — roughly 300 credits.
  • High-end AI video (Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro, with synced audio at higher resolution) — up to ~4,000 credits per generation.
  • AI voiceover — roughly 7,500 credits per ~1.5 hours of voice-over.
  • Lyria 3 / Lyria 3 Pro music — varies by track length

Two important rules:

  1. Credits don't roll over — anything unused at the end of the billing month resets. Plan generation work toward the end of your cycle if you have a surplus.
  2. Yearly billing is much cheaper for credit-heavy plans — annual saves around 40% on the plan price and up to 62% on credit value vs. monthly.

FAQ

Does Artlist still have the old AI Suite plan?

No — as of early 2026, the single-tier AI Suite was replaced by AI Starter and AI Professional. Existing AI Suite subscribers were transitioned to the equivalent new tier.

Is Artlist Max worth it vs. picking individual plans?

For most creators using more than two of Artlist's product areas (music + AI, music + footage, AI + footage, etc.), Max is cheaper than stacking the individual plans. The marginal cost of "now also get AI" or "now also get footage" is small once you're already paying for the music tier.

Do the AI credits work across all the AI models?

Yes. AI Starter, AI Professional and Artlist Max all share a single credit pool that works across every AI model on the platform — Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling, Seedance, Nano Banana, Lyria 3 Pro, AI Voiceover and everything else.

What's the cheapest way to try Artlist AI?

AI Starter at $13.99/month billed annually is the lowest-cost entry point. Stack it with the current Artlist discount code for the best total price.

Do credits roll over month to month?

No. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle. Plan your generation work accordingly.

What changes for 2026?

The biggest change is the AI plan restructure (AI Starter and AI Professional replacing the single AI Suite tier). The AI model lineup also expanded substantially — see every AI model on Artlist (2026) for the full list.
