SubscriptionLink to this section
One subscription is tied to one Whimsical workspace (not a specific user account or email address). When you upgrade a workspace, all users who are editors in that workspace will have access to create unlimited items and enable a quota of 2000 AI actions per month. You will be charged for each editor in the workspace.
Our values have helped us craft a fair billing system where we offer prorated credits if you remove an editor during the course of your subscription period. This article explains in detail how adding and removing editors impacts your bill.
You can cancel your subscription at any time and won't lose access to any of the files you've created.
DiscountsLink to this section
