**What is a monthly plan?**
A monthly plan is a recurring subscription where credits refresh each billing cycle while the subscription is active.

**What is a Lifetime plan?**
A Lifetime plan is a one-time purchase that keeps access without recurring monthly billing.

**Difference between Lifetime and monthly**
- **Billing model:** Lifetime is one-time, monthly is recurring
- **Credits behavior:** Monthly credits refresh each cycle and typically do not roll over
- **Best fit:** Lifetime is usually better for irregular usage; monthly is usually better for steady, high-frequency AI-credit usage

**If I buy Lifetime, can I still buy monthly later?**
Yes. You can still add a monthly plan after purchasing Lifetime.

If your usage is occasional, pay-per-use add-on credits are often more efficient than maintaining a recurring monthly plan.
