Hola
I noticed that in the Adobe Firefly they have a "new" section where you can buy tokens to use Ffireffly.
I'm a suscriber to the whole Adobe Suite.
Do I have to pay to use it?
Thanks

You don't need a separate Firefly subscription to get started. Creative Cloud Pro includes 4000 credits for Premium generations and unlimited access to Standard generations, and you'd only add a dedicated Firefly plan if you need more generative credits per month. Full details on credits by plan are here:

Happy to help if you're not sure which plan fits your usage.

I am wondering the same. Why the HELL is Adobe charging more for Firefly? I'm a suscriber to the whole Adobe Suite.

Since this post reflects Firefly in 2023 and not today, we will go ahead and lock this old post.

Yes, and I find it a bit of a slap in the face that I've been paying for the "All Apps" since it's ever been available and they want to make Firefly an additional $30 a month?  With Canva, Figma, and Procreate - I can jump ship from Adobe and not tuen back.  Thousands and thousands of dollars in, and now they want more of my very hard earned money.  Like give me a reason to stay?

Firefly is included in your Creative Cloud All Apps plan with 1,000 credits.

See the page regarding Generative Credits:

What happens if you used up all the 1000 credits?

Hello @Mavi Frost,

 

The link that Kevin posted above covers that:

10. What do I do if I need more generative credits? 

  • For a limited time, Creative Cloud, Adobe Express, and Adobe Stock paid subscribers won't be subject to generative credit limits and can continue creating beyond their plan-specific monthly credit limit to create vector graphics or standard resolution images*.

  • Free Creative Cloud, Adobe Firefly, and Adobe Express users can subscribe to a new paid plan to continue creating Firefly-powered assets. 

* Standard resolution imagery is up to 2000x2000 pixels. Usage rates may vary. Plans are subject to change. 

 

My best,
