Manual mind mapping is free.
Pay only for AI.

Everything you build by hand is unlimited, forever — plus 50 AI credits a month. Upgrade only when AI becomes part of your workflow.

What do credits actually buy?

A typical AI mind map (~40 nodes) costs this much, depending on what you start from.

Typed prompt
~13 credits
Image
~13 credits
PDF · 10 pages
~26 credits
Audio · 5 min
~60 credits
Video · 5 min
~177 credits

On Basic that's ~150 prompt maps or ~75 PDF maps every month. On Pro, ~380 prompt maps or ~190 PDF maps.

Estimates for a standard ~40-node map. Larger or more detailed maps use more credits, and follow-up prompts on the same map re-read your existing content, so they cost slightly more than the first. The exact credits used are always shown with every AI reply.

Why people love it.

The Thinking Mode is a real differentiator. Branches are placed where they make logical sense, not just where the text mentions them.

I run weekly literature reviews. What used to take an afternoon now takes 15 minutes, and the maps are clearer than my notes ever were.

The lifetime Plus tier paid for itself in two months. 200k credits is more than enough for a team of three.

Questions & answers.

Yes. The Free plan is genuinely free forever — no credit card required, no trial countdown. You get unlimited projects, the full editor, all three layout types, all AI tools, exports, and 50 AI credits each month to power generation. Paid plans simply give you more credits and larger file inputs.
We don't offer a trial of paid plans — the Free plan is generous enough to experience the full product and decide whether you need more capacity.
Credits power AI actions like generating a map, expanding nodes, or summarizing files. Manual editing, undo, retries, and importing shared maps never use credits. As a guide, a typical ~40-node map costs about 13 credits from a typed prompt or image, ~26 from a 10-page PDF, ~60 from 5 minutes of audio, and ~177 from 5 minutes of video. Bigger, more detailed maps cost more; smaller ones cost less. The exact credits used are shown with every AI reply, so nothing is hidden.
On Free, credits refresh monthly. On Basic and Pro, you can buy add-on credits anytime ($5 for 1,000 credits). Lifetime plans use one large pool of credits that never expires.
Yes. Cancel your current monthly or yearly plan and subscribe to the one you prefer. Lifetime users can add another plan if they need more credits.
You can cancel monthly or yearly subscriptions anytime from your account settings to stop future billing. Lifetime plans never renew since they're a one-time purchase.
Payments may be eligible for a refund if requested within 7 days of purchase, provided that fewer than 100 AI credits from the plan have been used.
