Changelog
What's new, improved, and fixed in GenFlick.
April 18, 2026 — evening
Unit Economics Rebalance & New Tiers- NewPro plan: $200/mo, 2,400 credits (40% margin) — for power creators and freelancers
- NewStudio plan: $1,000/mo, 14,000 credits (30% margin) — for agencies and teams
- NewOverage billing: $0.10/credit (50% margin) auto-billed at month-end when subscribers exceed their plan allotment — never interrupts a generation
- New/api/account/usage endpoint returns monthly credits used, remaining, overage, and rough margin diagnostic
- New/how-credits-work page now explains the new tier ladder + overage mechanic with HowTo schema for rich snippets
- ImprovedCredit cost map normalised so every credit reliably equals ~$0.05 in vendor compute spend across all 5 video providers — Veo 3.1 Fast went from 3 → 10 credits per 5s, fixing a silent margin loss on every Veo gen
- ImprovedStarter plan rebranded from 'Creator $19.90 / 200 credits' (~50% margin) to 'Starter $19.90 / 160 credits' (60% margin) — same price, hits the founder-set margin floor
- ImprovedCreator plan rebranded from 'Studio $49.90 / 600 credits' (~40% margin) to 'Creator $49.90 / 500 credits' (50% margin) — same price band, fixed margin
- ImprovedPro Pack realigned from $99.90 / 2,000 credits (-0.1% margin — we lost a dime per pack sold) to $99.90 / 1,400 credits (30% margin) so packs and same-priced subs deliver identical per-credit value
- ImprovedStripe products script (create-stripe-products-and-prices.mjs) provisions the new Pro $200 + Studio $1,000 prices and the metered overage Price ($0.10/credit)
- Improved/pricing now shows all 4 paid tiers (was 2) with a Studio 'For Teams' badge, an inline overage explainer, and per-credit math under each plan
- FixedFAQ updated with overage Q+A and the truthful credit-vendor-cost calibration story
- ImprovedStripe products script now creates products under the canonical 'GenFlick' brand (matches deployed genflick.com / genflix.symplyai.io domains)
