Plans and Billing

Folio AI uses a simple credit-based model. You spend credits when Folio generates or edits slides, and you choose a plan based on how many credits you need each month. This page explains how credits and billing work.

Start for free

Every new account starts with 500 free credits and no credit card required. That's enough to generate several presentations and try every feature before deciding on a plan.

How credits work

  • Credits are the currency you spend each time Folio generates or edits slides.
  • On average, generating a complete 10-slide deck uses about 100–200 credits, depending on complexity and content length.
  • Monthly plan credits refresh on your billing date.
  • Credits don't expire — unused credits roll over to the next billing cycle (rollover is capped under our fair-use policy).
  • If you run out, you can buy additional credits or upgrade to a higher plan. We'll let you know when you're getting close to your limit.

You can check your credit usage at any time by clicking the more icon (⋯) in the Folio side panel. It shows how many credits you've used and how many you have left.

Viewing your credit usage from the more (⋯) menu in the Folio side panel.

Managing your subscription

You can manage your plan from the Folio side panel in PowerPoint or Google Slides, or from your account in the browser. From there you can upgrade, downgrade, change between monthly and annual billing, or update your payment details.

  • Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately, and we prorate any billing adjustment.
  • Changing billing frequency (monthly ↔ annual) is available at any time.

When you need more credits, you have three ways to get them:

  • Top up a custom amount of credits at your plan's overage price — handy for a one-off boost when you're close to your limit.
  • Buy a bundle of credits for a better per-credit deal than a custom top-up.
  • Subscribe to a plan (or move up a tier) to get the most out of Folio, with a larger monthly credit allowance and more capable models.

Teams

On team plans, each member gets their own credit allowance, and team owners manage who has access. Adding or removing members adjusts your bill on a prorated basis. Higher tiers also unlock shared capabilities such as stored brand instructions across the team.

Cancellation and refunds

  • You can cancel at any time. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period, and you won't be charged again.
  • Uninstalling the PowerPoint add-in or Google Slides add-on does not automatically cancel your subscription — cancel from your account settings.
