Official sources checked 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- The exact free-plan credit allocation was not exposed consistently on the public pricing page and is therefore not stated.
- Promotional unlimited-generation model coverage can change and is governed by Adobe's current promotion page and offer terms.
- Adobe does not warrant that output is non-infringing, unique, or copyrightable.
- IP indemnification is plan- and contract-specific, particularly for enterprise offerings, and should not be assumed for every Firefly subscription or beta feature.
Adobe's official Firefly FAQ and policy statements say Adobe does not train Firefly foundation models on customer content; current Firefly models use licensed content such as Adobe Stock and public-domain content. Adobe's General Terms say users retain rights and ownership in their Content and Adobe does not claim ownership. The Generative AI User Guidelines state that output may generally be used commercially; if Adobe specifically designates a beta feature as non-commercial, output from that feature is personal-use only. Credits renew monthly and do not roll over.
Official pricing page lists Chat at US$29/month or US$24/month billed US$288 annually, with 5 seats and unlimited words and projects in Chat. Growth is US$1,000/month billed annually with 75 seats and 20,000 workflow credits/month. Expansion is US$2,000/month billed annually with 150 seats and 45,000 workflow credits/month. Scale is US$3,000/month billed annually with 200 seats and 75,000 workflow credits/month. Enterprise pricing is custom.

- Enterprise pricing is not publicly specified.
- Workflow-credit cost varies with computational complexity; the official pricing page does not provide one fixed number of workflow runs per plan.
- The Terms grant usage rights rather than promising that generated content is unique or copyrightable.
- No separate official image-specific rights policy was found; Copy.ai's Terms address Generated Content generally.
The official pricing page was published on 2026-08-17 and was checked directly. Copy.ai's official security page, https://www.copy.ai/security, says it does not train its models on individual customer data, share prompts with other customers, or sell customer data. The Terms say Copy.ai does not claim ownership of User Content; they grant compliant users a non-exclusive worldwide sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, sell, create derivatives from, distribute, display, and perform Generated Content for lawful business purposes. The Terms also grant Copy.ai and its licensors a broad license over User Content for providing, operating, securing, and improving their services.
