Is Blender AI
Free?

No. Blender AI has no free generation tier, and generation is metered in prompts. Blender itself remains free and open source - what you pay for is the assistant that turns prompts into editable geometry inside your scene, its queue priority, and the quality of the output.

The plans, in one table

PlanPricePrompts per monthNotable differences
Starter$9 / month100Shared generation pool, standard quality, commercial licence
Pro$19 / month200Faster queue, extra-high thinking for complex scenes, 2 parallel sub-agents, higher quality mesh output
Premium$49 / month800Priority speed, best mesh quality, 4 sub-agents, batch scene generation, longest context

Annual billing saves 17% on the same allowances: $90, $190 and $490 respectively. See the full plan comparison.

How prompt allowances work

One prompt equals one generation request. Three rules matter in practice:

  • The allowance resets monthly. Unused prompts do not roll over, so a plan is a per-month budget rather than a bank.
  • Failed generations should not cost you. A request that fails for a technical reason is returned to your balance instead of being consumed.
  • Vague prompts waste the same allowance as good ones. A brief with object, style, scale and destination lands closer to the target on the first attempt, which is the cheapest optimisation available on any plan.

What "free tools" cost instead

The alternatives to a paid assistant are not zero-cost - they move the cost somewhere else:

  • Local open-source pipelines cost GPU time, setup effort and maintenance every time a model or dependency changes.
  • Web text-to-3D generators often include a small free allowance, then meter credits; their output still needs an import-and-repair pass in Blender.
  • Doing it by hand costs hours, which is the most expensive option for repetitive assets like props, kit pieces and set dressing.

If you generate two or three assets a month, a free web tool plus a cleanup pass may genuinely be enough. If you generate assets every week, the comparison usually flips - see the alternatives breakdown.

Where the money goes, plainly

Starter at $9 for 100 prompts is roughly nine cents per generation before any cleanup time. That is the number to compare against your own hourly rate: a prop that takes an hour to block out by hand versus a minute of generation plus ten minutes of cleanup.

Premium at $49 for 800 prompts exists for continuous production - teams generating through a whole level, or iterating on the same scene daily. It is not a better tool; it is the same tool with a bigger budget and a shorter queue.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what people ask before they commit.

Is Blender AI free?⌄

No. There is no free generation tier. Blender AI runs on paid plans - Starter is $9 a month for 100 prompts, Pro is $19 for 200 prompts, and Premium is $49 for 800 prompts. Blender itself remains free and open source.

How much does Blender AI cost per month?⌄

Starter is $9, Pro is $19 and Premium is $49 on monthly billing. Annual billing saves 17% on the same allowances. Every plan includes commercial use rights for what you generate.

Do unused prompts roll over?⌄

No. The allowance refreshes at the start of each billing month and unused prompts do not carry over. Annual plans refresh the monthly allowance the same way.

Is there a trial?⌄

There is no separate free trial. The cheapest way to evaluate the workflow is one month of Starter, which includes 100 prompts - enough for roughly a week of real asset production.

Can I cancel any time?⌄

Yes. Cancel from the billing page in your account settings; the plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, and no further charge is made.

What licence do paid plans include?⌄

Every paid plan includes commercial rights for the models, renders and scripts you generate, subject to the rights of any source material you provide.
