Can free users generate food images?
No. AI image generation is part of Chef’s Pass. Subscribers get 30 credits a month and can buy top-up packs if they run out.
Free accounts cannot purchase image credits. Credits bought in a pack never expire, so a former member can still use any they have left. Every other part of the free tier - recipes, scanning, pantry, shopping lists, simple planning - is unaffected.
Image generation is the one feature with a per-use cost to us that is large enough to meter, which is why it is the only thing counted in credits at all.
