What does an 8-photo listing cost?
WellStaged: the 10 photos pack is $29. $29 ÷ 8 = $3.63 per unlocked download, and the other 2 credits do not expire.
REimagineHome: 8 designs at 1 credit each is 8 credits, which fits inside even the 30-credit Essential plan at $19.00 a month: $19.00 ÷ 8 = $2.38 a design. Its page says one generation is one credit, so each regeneration uses credits too, and real use would be higher than 8. Essential lists “legacy tools”; listing batch processing is on Pro ($36 a month). The 5 free designs would cover part of a listing before you pay.
