Prompt Dock's free Creator plan is a full creator account. You can publish prompts, free and premium, write blogs, submit challenge solutions, run the Playground and request payouts without paying anything.

What paid plans add
There is exactly one capability the free plan does not have: reading other creators' premium prompt templates. Everything else a paid plan adds is a larger allowance, a faster payout cadence or a perk.
- Explorer ($10/mo) — unlock and read other creators' premium prompts, payouts weekly rather than monthly, and a monthly pool of 1000 Playground tokens.
- Premium Creator ($15/mo) — everything Explorer has, a monthly pool of 1500 tokens, and eligibility for the Verified seal. Eligibility is not the seal itself: an admin still reviews the account and vouches for it.
- Master ($20/mo) — the largest monthly pool at 2000 tokens, and a 14-day free trial on your first Master subscription. Premium-model runs, video generation and early access to new features are listed on the pricing page as coming soon.
Every plan, free included, keeps the same 50 Playground tokens a day, resetting at midnight UTC. The daily allowance is always spent first, so a monthly pool is only touched once the day's credits run out.

Managing your subscription
Settings → Billing is the one place for plan changes:
- Upgrades apply immediately. The confirm dialog prices the change on the server first and shows the breakdown, new plan minus credit for unused time equals what is due today, before anything is charged.
- Downgrades take effect at the end of the period you already paid for. You keep the higher plan until then.
- Cancel leaves your access running to the end of the paid period, though cancelling during a trial ends it there and then. Resume undoes a pending cancel or downgrade before it lands.
- Manage plan opens the Stripe customer portal, which handles your payment card only. Plan changes deliberately stay in the app so there is a single source of truth.
