Tsubaki.3 Pricing Explained: The Credit Math for PixAI Free Users

Most AI art generator pricing pages tell you what a plan costs. Few tell you what one image costs, or how far a free daily balance really goes.
So this post breaks down Tsubaki.3 pricing on PixAI in plain numbers: what a free account gets, what each generation costs, and where the limits start.

The free account, at a glance

A PixAI free account includes:
10,000 credits per day through the Daily Claim
Tsubaki.3, selected by default when the generator opens
All three resolutions: M (768 × 1280), L (944 × 1584), XL (1104 × 1824)
No watermark by default
No time limit, so it's an ongoing tier, not a trial

The credit math

Tsubaki.3 credits scale with image size and batch settings. Here is what 10,000 daily credits buys:
daily_claim = 10_000

single images

M = 4_000 # 768 x 1280
L = 4_200 # 944 x 1584
XL = 4_400 # 1104 x 1824

batch_4_xl = 7_800

daily_claim - batch_4_xl # 2,200 left (below the 4,000 minimum)
daily_claim - 2 * XL # 1,200 left
So a free day covers one batch of four XL variants or two separate XL prompts. Note that batch results are variants of one idea, not four different scenes.

A LoRA is a small add-on file that teaches the model one specific character or style.

Two ways to stretch the budget

Turn on the optional watermark for a limited-time 10% credit discount.
Complete daily quests (contests, publishing, likes) to raise your ceiling to about 31,000 credits.

The honest trade-off

Paid plans start at $9.99 a month. They add speed, LoRA capacity, and bigger daily claims. They do not lower the base generation cost. If you generate a few times a week, the free tier is enough.
