We started our journey at Creatie in 2022, with a small group of designers, and a vision to make product design easier and more joyful. After more than a year of tireless development, we launched Creatie in early 2024, and the response has been incredible. We can't thank you enough for your amazing support.

We have been offering Creatie 100% free to gather feedback, and to ensure we're creating real value for designers. We have been improving our products with your feedback - improving AI features, building integrations, while fixing hundreds of bugs and making quality-of-life improvements.

We can't be here without you, our early users. Thank you so much for your support for us. Today, we're thrilled to announce that we will be launching our paid plan, Creatie Pro Team, in two months!

Introducing Creatie Pro Team plan

Creatie Pro Team is for small teams like ours and yours, who need to stay agile, decisive, and productive, all while maintaining a tight schedule and budget. That's why we've prioritized three key areas in Creatie Pro Team:

Unlimited collaboration: Unlimited files, pages, and team members. Your entire team can work together on the cloud without constraints. But all users will still have a personal draft space not attached to any team - we know that the best creative sparks sometimes come when you are working in that personal space.

Seamless handoff: Free Dev Mode to ensure a smooth handoff between design and development. You don't have to pay extra for your developers.

AI-powered creativity: AI usage is included in the Pro Team Plan. After our AI features come out of beta, we may add usage limits on certain features to keep our tool sustainable, but typical day-to-day AI usage will still be covered in the Pro Team plan.

You can find more details on our pricing page. Whether you're a startup defining your vision, an agency juggling multiple client projects, or a small business elevating your product, Creatie Pro Team gives you the tools, flexibility, and support to create extraordinary designs.

Our pricing philosophy

We are a small team ourselves. We know that every dollar counts when you're running a lean operation. The pricing of a design tool has to be fair, transparent, and sustainable. Great design tools should be accessible to everyone.

Fairness: We don't believe in hiding essential features behind paywalls. And for today's product design tools, AI features and handoff capabilities are essential. That's why our Pro Team plan covers typical AI usage, and our Dev Mode is available to all paid users at no extra cost. No more paying extra for your developer seats or AI credits, just a simple and fair charge for the Pro Team.

Transparency: We know everyone is tired of surprise charges, especially agencies. Our growth shouldn't come at the expense of your budget and user experience. We will include clear notifications and dashboards, so that you know if and when you would incur extra charges by inviting new collaborators to your team.

Sustainability: We're in this for the long haul. We want to ensure that we can continue to innovate and improve Creatie for years to come. While we've worked hard to keep our prices competitive and affordable, given the current cost of AI, we cannot set unlimited usage on AI. After the beta phase, we will have a "power user" add-on for the heaviest AI users, to ensure that we keep the overall cost reasonable and the platform sustainable for everyone.

Design tools are rooted in and empowered by our community. We're not interested in chasing the latest pricing trends or employing psychological tricks to squeeze more money out of our users. Our pricing is an honest reflection of our purpose to empower small teams to do big things. We hope you'll find it refreshingly straightforward and genuinely fair. If not, you can always email us at support@creatie.ai to let us know your thoughts. We want to hear from you.

What this means for existing users

We owe our success to our amazing community of users. Your support and feedback have shaped Creatie. As we introduce our new pricing model, we want to make sure we honor your trust in us.

First and foremost, we want to assure you that there will always be a free way to use Creatie. Our Creatie Starter Plan is designed for individual designers just starting out, offering all core design features and monthly AI usage quota at no cost.

For everyone who signed up before October 31st, you'll be automatically transitioned to the Pro Team plan for free, until the end of the year. (So now is a good time to invite your teammates to Creatie!)

You will not lose any of your work on a free plan. If your Pro Team plan subscription expires and you have more than 3 design files in your team space, you will have edit access to the first 3 files you created, while the remaining files will be available in view-only mode.

We understand that change can be challenging. We're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. We've prepared a detailed FAQ, and if you can't find the answer you need there, we are always ready to help at support@creatie.ai.

Our commitment and what's next

The introduction of Creatie Pro Team is a significant milestone, but it's just the beginning.

With sustainable pricing, we can accelerate our product development. In the coming months, you can expect to see some key updates from us. We'll be updating and introducing new AI capabilities that help inspire and kickstart your designs, automate repetitive tasks, and provide smart suggestions to enhance your designs. We will also update our collaboration features, to make it even easier for your team to work together.

Your feedback, your ideas, and your trust fuel us. Thank you for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come!
