TextToManga 2026 Plan & INK Allocation Update: Keeping Prices Unchanged as We Scale 2K AI Manga Generation

Over the past several months, creators around the world have used TextToManga to adapt thousands of webnovel chapters, original scripts, and multi-volume stories into full-page manga and webtoons. As our multi-agent pipeline has evolved—incorporating 2K high-resolution page rendering, persistent 360-degree character reference locking, location variant memory, and batch EPUB chapter generation—the underlying compute required to render each sequential page has grown significantly.

Our top priority is keeping our monthly subscription prices accessible for indie authors and studios everywhere. Rather than raising the price of our Artist ($9.99/month) or Master ($29.99/month) plans, we are making a measured adjustment to our INK credit allocations starting today so we can continue delivering fast, unthrottled 2K manga generation without increasing subscription prices.

What Is Changing Across Each Tier

To ensure sustainable GPU capacity and consistent generation speeds during peak studio hours, we have updated the upfront bonus and daily INK refill structure across our plans—reflecting a 30% adjustment on paid tiers and a streamlined starter bonus for new free accounts:

1. Apprentice Plan (Free Tier — $0)

• One-Time Starter Bonus: Every new account receives 100 INK immediately upon registration (no credit card required) to test the studio pipeline, build a World Bible, and generate starter manga pages.
• Daily Refill Policy: The Apprentice plan no longer includes automatic daily INK refills. This change eliminates automated multi-account farming and keeps generation queues fast for active creators.
• Studio Limits: Up to 20 manga projects, 5 character variants per character, and 1 concurrent generation job.

2. Artist Plan ($9.99 / Month — Price Unchanged)

• Upfront INK Bonus: 3,500 INK credited immediately upon upgrading (adjusted by 30% from 5,000 INK).
• Daily INK Refill: 1,400 INK per day (adjusted by 30% from 2,000 INK/day), giving active creators up to 45,500 INK per 30-day cycle—enough to produce over 200 full manga chapters or more than 4,000 high-resolution manga pages per month.
• Studio Limits: Up to 100 manga projects, 10 character variants, and 2 concurrent chapter generations.

3. Master Plan ($29.99 / Month — Price Unchanged)

• Upfront INK Bonus: 14,000 INK credited immediately upon upgrading (adjusted by 30% from 20,000 INK).
• Daily INK Refill: 3,500 INK per day (adjusted by 30% from 5,000 INK/day), providing up to 119,000 INK per 30-day cycle for high-volume serialized novel adaptations and production teams.
• Studio Limits: Unlimited manga projects, up to 20 character variants, and 3 concurrent chapter generations.

4. Pay As You Go (Custom Studio Tier)

• Unrestricted Engine Access: Unlocks the Unlimited AI image engine with zero policy restrictions and 100% faithful adherence to original novel content.
• Flexible Top-Ups: Direct INK top-ups ($1 = 100 INK, minimum $50 top-up) with unlimited concurrent generations, unlimited manga projects, and unlimited character/location variants.

Why We Chose a 30% INK Adjustment Instead of Raising Prices

When we analyzed creator usage across thousands of generated chapters, we found that a single 20-page manga chapter typically consumes between 160 and 250 INK. Even after this 30% adjustment, a single day of Artist refill (1,400 INK) powers 5 to 7 full-length chapters per day, and a single day of Master refill (3,500 INK) powers 14 to 20 full-length chapters per day.

1. Zero Price Increase for Creators: Indie novelists and webtoon artists can still subscribe at the exact same $9.99 and $29.99 monthly rates.
2. Faster Queue Turnaround & Higher Image Fidelity: Eliminating passive free-tier bot farming frees up GPU capacity for Gemini Nano Banana 2.1 2K page rendering and multi-character reference locking.
3. Continued Studio Improvements: We have also rolled out server-side pagination and instant cross-tab synchronization on the My Projects dashboard so studios managing dozens of multi-chapter series experience instant load times.
