Yeşilçam Studios now has three monthly plans, Free, Basic and Pro, and this post explains what changed in them: free outputs carry a small watermark, the Cinema quality tiers are for subscribers, and Flow Studio and Cinema Studio are part of Pro. Tokens renew every billing cycle and unused monthly tokens do not roll over, while tokens from packs stay. Here is the full picture and the reasoning behind it.
Why we changed the plans
When we opened the studio, the plans were simple because the product was simple. Since then it has grown: Animation with 19 styles, Story to film, Fashion Try-On, Maket. The old structure no longer described who each plan was for. We also heard, clearly, that people wanted to know exactly what they get, what they lose if they cancel, and what happens to tokens they have not used. So we rewrote the plans around three kinds of people: those trying the studio, those making things regularly, and those producing professionally.
Free: try everything that matters
The Free plan includes 250,000 tokens a month and 1 GB of storage. You get Film Studio in Draft and Standard quality, plus Animation, Fashion Try-On and Maket. That is enough to learn the studio properly: make Papercraft backgrounds, try a short Cinemation film, build a Popbook for your class.
What changed is the watermark. Video and image outputs on the free plan now carry a small Yeşilçam Studios logo, bottom-right and semi-transparent. We kept it small on purpose; it should identify, not obstruct. Offering high-cost generation for free is only sustainable if free work also helps people discover the studio, and a modest mark is the fairest way we found to do that. Our article on watermarking generative media discusses the wider practice.
Basic: for regular makers
Basic includes 5,000,000 tokens a month and 30 GB of storage. It has everything in Free, and adds three things:
- The Cinema and Cinema Pro quality tiers, the slower, richer video tiers.
- No watermark: every output is a clean file.
- Member prices on token packs.
Basic is the plan for creators who publish every week, teachers who make material for a whole term, and small businesses that need clean files for ads and product pages.
Pro: the full studio
Pro includes 15,000,000 tokens a month and 50 GB of storage. It has everything in Basic, and adds Flow Studio and Cinema Studio. Every generation on Pro uses 20% fewer tokens, a 0.8× multiplier applied automatically, and outputs have no watermark. If you produce at volume, the multiplier alone changes the arithmetic of a project.
How locked features look
We did not want to hide what exists. Features outside your plan stay visible with a small PRO badge. Click one and you go straight to the subscription page, where the difference between plans is spelled out. If you are a subscriber and run out of tokens while creating something, an extra-token pack window opens right there, so you do not lose the form you just filled in.
Tokens: what renews, what stays
- Monthly tokens renew at each billing cycle. Unused monthly tokens do not roll over.
- Token packs are one-off purchases. Tokens from packs are not reset at renewal; they stay in your balance.
- Gift tokens last 30 days.
This keeps plans predictable for us and packs flexible for you. If your usage is uneven, a smaller plan plus the occasional pack is often the better deal. Whatever you spend, every production is priced before it starts, the estimate is a ceiling, and the difference is refunded automatically after the job; failed jobs are refunded in full. The details are in our guide to animation cost and refunds.
Discount codes and confirmation emails
At checkout there is a Discount code field. Codes can be personal or general, they are valid only in Yeşilçam Studios, and they apply to the first monthly payment; after that the regular monthly price applies. After any purchase, a confirmation email arrives in your language, one of Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. For subscriptions it shows your renewal date, so there are no surprises.
Which plan should you choose?
Start on Free and make something real. If you find yourself removing the watermark in your head every time you watch the result, or you want the Cinema tiers, Basic is the next step. If you are producing films for clients or running a channel, Pro’s multiplier, Flow Studio and Cinema Studio are designed for you. The current plans and prices are always on the pricing page, and the step-by-step guide to plans, watermark and PRO features answers the practical questions. Everything in Animation is available from the free plan up.
