Higgsfield has a free plan, and every new account starts on it at no cost. It opens a limited set of models and runs one generation at a time. It doesn't include monthly credits or Unlimited models, and its generations can carry a visible Higgsfield watermark. A paid plan opens more models and adds monthly credits and watermark-free output.
How is the free plan different from a paid plan?
The free plan is the entry point to Higgsfield, an AI-native creative suite for image and video generation. It lets you try the platform before choosing a subscription.

The current prices, models, and limits for each plan are in the comparison table on the Pricing page.
Which models can I use on the free plan?
The free plan opens a limited set of models. The comparison table on the Pricing page marks them in the Free column, for example Nano Banana Pro and FLUX.2 Pro. A paid plan opens more models, and higher plans open every model on the platform.
What requires a paid plan?
These features aren't part of the free plan:
- Soul ID characters
- Fast-track generation
- Start & End Frame control
- Higgsfield Speak
- UGC builder
- Priority access to new models and features
The free plan runs one generation at a time, so a batch of several images in one run isn't available. When you select a model or feature that isn't part of the free plan, you'll see a prompt to upgrade.
Does the free plan include credits?
The free plan doesn't include a monthly credit allowance. Models open on the free plan still deduct credits, so generating requires credits or free generations on your account. The cost of each generation is shown before you start.
Credit Packs require an active subscription, so they can't be purchased on the free plan. If you had a subscription before, the credits you bought during it stay available on the free plan until they expire. See Do my top-up credits expire, and what happens if I cancel?
Do free plan generations have a watermark?
On the free plan, generations can carry a visible Higgsfield watermark. A paid plan removes it from new generations. Files created on the free plan keep the watermark after you upgrade, so regenerate them to get a clean version. See Why is there a watermark, and how do I remove it?
Are my generations public on the free plan?
No. On the free plan, the Auto-publish new generations setting in Manage Account → Personal profile is off and can't be turned on, so new generations stay private by default.
On a paid plan, you can turn the setting on or off. When it's on, new generations are automatically visible in Explore.
What happens to my account when a paid plan ends?
When a paid subscription ends, your account moves to the free plan. Your account and everything in Assets stay in place, since canceling doesn't delete your generations. New generations follow the free plan rules from that moment and can carry a watermark. See How do I cancel my subscription?
How do I upgrade from the free plan?
Choose a plan on the Pricing page and confirm payment. The plan applies right away, and your account, Assets, and profile stay the same. See How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
